During the investigation, dubbed “Operation Full Circle,” federal, state, and local law enforcement officers worked together to seize 34 firearms, more than six kilograms of heroin, more than 17 kilograms of cocaine, more than a kilogram of fentanyl, approximately 50 grams of crack cocaine, 200 pounds of marijuana, and more than $1.3 million in cash and jewelry allegedly purchased with narcotics trafficking proceeds. Much of the alleged firearms offenses, drug trafficking, and violence occurred in the Austin neighborhood on the West Side of Chicago.

“Operation Wicked Stones,” part of “Operation Full Circle,” focused on activities by alleged high-ranking members of both the Wicked Town faction of the Traveling Vice Lords and the Black P-Stone Nation street gangs. The indictments and a criminal complaint unsealed in U.S. District Court in Chicago allege federal firearms, narcotics, and money laundering offenses. The investigation also resulted in previously filed federal charges against three defendants for their alleged role in a murder-for-hire conspiracy. Many of the federal defendants were arrested Thursday, and detention hearings will be held next week in federal court in Chicago.
