Dozens of gang members and their associates were arrested Thursday in a multi-agency sweep of South Los Angeles, authorities said.

Suspects were taken to the Sports Arena complex, just south of downtown L.A., where TV news crews recorded police buses on scene to help manage the large number of arrestees.

Few details were available other than a brief Los Angeles Police Department advisory noting officers were targeting all gang members and their associates.

Local and federal law enforcement agencies planned to hold a news conference on the operation late Thursday morning.
