23 linked to white supremacist prison gang in Nevada indicted
Prosecutors have charged 23 people tied to a violent white supremacist Nevada prison gang with more than 150 counts, ranging from murder and robbery to drug trafficking and racketeering, according to a sweeping indictment unsealed Wednesday.
“Defendants being members or associates of the criminal syndicate the Aryan Warriors were all involved in the operations of the Aryan Warriors, organized as a paramilitary group, through the use of violence and/or conspiring to commit violence,” the indictment reads.
Many of the defendants already are behind bars, after search warrants executed Saturday that netted 10 arrests, in what the Drug Enforcement Administration called a “major investigative takedown” of the gang in Las Vegas.
This weekend alone, a Clark County gang task force with representatives from the DEA, the Department of Homeland Security, the Clark County district attorney’s office, the Metropolitan Police Department, North Las Vegas police, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Nye County Sheriff’s Office and the Nevada Department of Corrections seized seven guns, two bulletproof vests, a stolen trailer, three stolen motorcycles, four fake identification labs, methamphetamine, heroin and $9,700 in cash.
