Chicago Police conduct “one of the largest gang raids in the city’s history”
Thousands of dollars worth of drugs and many weapons were seized and 140 people were arrested in a large gang raid, police said Friday. The Chicago Police Department is hoping that weakening the gangs will also stop some of the rampant gun violence that’s plaguing the south and west sides. “Put simply, violence this summer will not be tolerated,” says police superintendent Eddie Johnson.
