4 arrested at apartment rife with gang activity

Agents from the Salt Lake Metro Gang Task Force, Salt Lake City police and immigration officials arrested four people early Thursday at an apartment complex that has become a sore spot for law enforcers.

Officers showed up with search warrants in hand near 300 S. Cheyenne (1520 West) about 4:30 a.m.

For the past several months that area has seen a lot of gang activity and city police have been called on several violent incidents, said Metro Gang Task Force Sgt. Bill Robertson.

Several ounces of methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and a stolen firearm were recovered, Robertson said, noting officials believed drugs were being dealt out of at least two of the apartments. The majority of those arrested were illegal aliens, he said.

Those arrested will mostly face state charges, Robertson said, except the person with the firearm, who will face federal charges.

Hmmmm.....sounds like where we live, had it said Oregon, I would have not been surprised!
