RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Twenty people have been charged in a crackdown of a Riverside gang suspected to be under the control of the Mexican Mafia.

The multi-agency bust culminated Wednesday with the arrests of six men and a criminal complaint that was unsealed in U.S. District Court. Nine others are already in custody, while five were being sought by law enforcement.

Authorities say those arrested were associated with or members of a Riverside gang that dealt methamphetamine and paid money to the Mexican Mafia. Prosecutors say the gang would seek out and fight rival gang members and talk about its business over the Internet.
