GANGLAND UK

netted 30 alleged members of the 30 Deep gang and affiliated groups and another nine for violent crimes and drug infractions.

Police arrested 46  people in a four-day, multi-agency sweep of metro Atlanta targeting the 30 Deep street gang.

The arrests, announced Friday, come as alleged 30 Deep member Jonathan Redding is currently on trial in Fulton County Superior Court for the Jan. 7, 2009 murder of John Henderson, a bartender at the now-defunct Standard Food & Spirits in Grant Park.

The sting, which involved investigators from the Atlanta Police Department and two dozen local, state and federal authorities, netted 30 alleged members of the 30 Deep gang and affiliated groups and another nine for violent crimes and drug infractions.

Dubbed "Operation Zero Deep," law enforcement officials seized $8,000 in cash, eight weapons, two vehicles, about two pounds of marijuana and Ectasy and cocaine.

“The success of this operation clearly shows the value of the strong relationships forged between the Atlanta Police Department, the U.S. Marshals Service and our other law enforcement partners,” Atlanta Police Chief George Turner said in a statement.

“Criminal activity resulting from gangs isn’t just ‘an Atlanta problem’ and only when we combine our strategic crime-fighting efforts will we truly make a meaningful impact.”
