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.

LBJ and the Great Society pays them to reproduce bastard children. And those children are expected to reach age 18 such as to vote Democrat.

Bravo for the Fresno cops! Need more of this in Chitcago, Lost Angels, Filthadelphia, et. al., and our “national crime wave” will become just a ripple.

By the time one finishes reading this article, the perps are probably already released.

It’s the thought that counts I guess…….
