A multi-agency operation in Dallas resulted in the arrest of eight alleged gang members in possession of guns, drugs, money and a reptilian accomplice. 

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) led the investigation resulting in the execution of “Operation Blue Laces” in South Dallas on Monday.

Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Chad Meacham said the operation resulted in the arrest of eight members of the 42 Oakland Crips street gang.

During the operation, agents reportedly seized 14 firearms, over a kilogram of methamphetamine pills, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, alprazolam, marijuana, hash and over $47,000 in cash. Investigators also seized six vehicles, multiple pieces of Crips-themed jewelry and a caiman alligator.

During a detention hearing on Friday, prosecutors accused the defendants of dealing drugs daily at an area known as the “Dead End.”

The prosecutors also presented evidence suggesting that several members of the operation used text messages to warn each other about raids by law enforcement officials, and after the raids, they sent “young people” to look for missing drugs. Prosecutors also claim the suspects went back to dealing drugs at the conclusion of the raid.

According to Meacham’s office, many of the suspects have extensive criminal histories that include crimes related to drugs and guns.
