Two Dozen Suspected Gang Members Arrested

"Raids Targeting Violent Hispanic Street And Prison Gangs"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Jun 15, 2005 4:14 pm US/Pacific SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) Federal authorities arrested two dozen men Wednesday in raids targeting violent Hispanic street and prison gangs in Orange County.

The U.S. district attorney's office also unsealed two racketeering indictments that together charge 40 people with using extortion and violence to control drug dealing in the county and in Santa Ana.

Alleged Mexican Mafia leader Peter Ojeda, 63, of La Habra was among those arrested Wednesday. He was charged in an indictment returned by a grand jury June 8 that alleges three counts including racketeering, drug trafficking and methamphetamine distribution."
