The US Marshals Service says 95 people were arrested – including more than a dozen wanted for homicide – in 'Operation Washout,' targeting gang violence in Maryland
The agency led more than 30 law enforcement entities in a large-scale sweep, dubbed Operation Washout, last month for criminals wanted for offenses ranging from robbery to homicide, according to a news release. Federal, state and local authorities teamed up to make arrests that included 17 people wanted for homicide, 16 wanted for attempted homicide, 19 wanted for robbery and seven others on weapons-related offenses, the release states.
Among those arrested were six gang members, authorities said, noting the operation led to seizing 10 guns, 78 pounds of marijuana and 78 grams of cocaine. But there’s still a long way to go, Erek Barron, a US Attorney for the District of Maryland, said at a Friday news conference. “The murder rate in Baltimore, in particular, is unacceptable, but we have made significant strides this year,” Barron said. “We’re on the right track, and we’re doing it as a team.
