Nearly six dozen people associated with a white nationalist street gang known as the SFV Peckerwoods were arrested by federal agents over the previous week and charged with running a criminal organization in the San Fernando Valley, LA Magazine reports.
Police seized more than dozens of pounds of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and heroin as well as multiple guns during the Peckerwood sweep, which brought in 68 people, including 42 known members of the gang. The 76-count indictment says the Peckerwoods engaged in a “years-long pattern of racketeering activity that included trafficking of drugs — including fentanyl — illegal firearms possession, and COVID-19 benefits and loan fraud.”
