Three suspected gang members who go by the names "Spider," "Froggy," and "Lil Silent" were arrested during so-called "knock and talks" by authorities in Gwinnett County Thursday.

One of the men, Edy Garcia-Nanarijo, aka "Spider," came straight from the "Playboys" gang in Los Angeles to Gwinnett County to start a new gang, police believe. Garcia, 25, lives in Norcross.

The other suspected gang members were identified as:

# Jose Ceasar Salazar-Durin (aka "Froggy"), 19, a known 18th Street gang member that lives in Lawrenceville.

# Victor Alfonso Lerma-Neri (aka "Lil Silent"), Age 19, a known 18th Street gang member that lives in Norcross.

Earlier this month, the Gwinnett County Police Gang Task Force started work with agents from the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the FBI Atlanta Safe Streets Gang Task Force to perform a joint agency gang detail.

The purpose of the detail is to arrest gang members for outstanding warrants and to deport those who are in the country illegally. Several areas were targeted based on intelligence gathered by all three agencies.

As a result of the detail, the three gang members were arrested by ICE Agents for immigration status violations.
