CANTON, Ga. -- Cherokee County authorities concerned about a spike in Hispanic gang activity have rounded up more than a dozen suspects.

Cherokee County Sheriff's Capt. Jay Baker, a spokesman, said citizen complaints about the gangs led to Wednesday's operation.

15 people were taken into custody on an array of criminal offenses. At least seven individuals were turned over to U.S. Customs Enforcement agents and face deportation.

The FBI assisted in the roundup.
