Massive Baltimore crime bust catches four criminal organizations

Four violent criminal organizations involved in drug trafficking in southwest Baltimore have been dismantled, Maryland law enforcement announced Monday.

Almost 40 people between the ages of 16-60 have been criminally charged thus far, and confiscations included 15 stolen vehicles, nearly 70 guns, and large amounts of narcotics and money. The crime bust was a collaborative effort of over a dozen local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies that officials called “Operation Tornado Alley.”
