FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A massive multi-agency law enforcement operation led to the arrest of 43 people and the dismantling of a gang organization believed to be involved in several homicides, shootings and other crimes in the Fresno area.
Operation "No Fly Zone" involved detectives from the Fresno Police Department, the Fresno County Sheriff's Office, the Multi-Agency Gang Enforcement Consortium (MAGEC), the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, and the California Department of Justice. The operation began five months ago in response to an increase in violent crime in the city.
Fresno Police Chief Paco Balderrama said it is the largest operation to take place in the department's history.
More than 2,000 personnel with federal, state and local agencies were involved in nearly six months of wiretap surveillance.
Officials said investigators wire-tapped multiple gang members around the clock. The nearly four dozen suspects arrested are linked to four to six murders in the city along with drug, weapon and human trafficking.
Balderrama said the operation stopped half a dozen planned shootings, including two potential mass shootings.
Investigators say they learned of a plan for a mass shooting at a crowded Fresno bar on April 2 and April 11. Balderrama said they increased the police presence near the bar those two nights to stop it.

Fresno has long been disputed territory between the Northern Mexicans gangs and the Southern Mexican gangs, The blacks had local street gangs allied with the Los Angeles gangs. The local hispanics use to have a gang called the F14rs but became the Bulldogs who don’t ally with anyone. The Mexican gangs are allied with different cartels to control the drug routes and human trafficking. The blacks did the usual street crimes and drug dealing. The blacks in this operation are low hanging fruit. The Mexican gangs are the ones that need destroyed. S hole people create s holes. Not the other way around. I spent too much time there.
A $100 Bounty on the heads of all known Gang Members, dead or alive, would fix this problem in days
I have been reading about gangs in Los Angeles for 30 years. Democrats in charge there and the rest of California for 99% of the time.
