SUMMARY: For the past four months Investigators with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Gang Intelligence Team / FBI Gang Task Force have been investigating the illicit activities of a criminal street gang known to Inland Empire Law Enforcement Authorities as the "Noe Luv Gangster Crips." For the past several years members and associates of this particular gang have been known for their violent nature towards gang members from other criminal street gangs. More specifically, gangs from the Inland Empire. Based on several gang related shootings that have occurred at various locations throughout the County, some in which innocent citizens have also been victimized, Investigators conducted surveillance operations to gather evidence to establish the gang’s criminal conduct.

On Thursday, July 23, 2015, Investigators, Deputies and Officers from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, San Bernardino Police Department, San Bernardino County Probation Department, California Highway Patrol, Rialto Police Department and FBI served 10 search warrants at various locations throughout San Bernardino County. As a result of the investigation, 22 firearms were located and seized as well as six ounces of cocaine. Several alleged members and associates of the Noe Luv gang were also taken into custody for various criminal charges including: criminal street gang conspiracy, attempted kidnapping, assault, Human trafficking/pimping, prostitution, and additional weapons and narcotics violations.

This investigation served to represent the cooperation of law enforcement authorities within San Bernardino County and their commitment to the relentless pursuit of those who engage in criminal street gang activities. In addition, through allied cooperation, authorities will continue to strive toward keeping the County’s Citizen’s safe from criminal street gang activity through aggressive anti-gang enforcement and the application of current anti-gang legislation.
