In Los Angeles this morning, more than 1,100 police officers and FBI agents are sweeping through neighborhoods as they search for about 75 members of the Rolling 40s street gang.
It's the latest high-profile move by authorities to go after the often violent gangs. Last month, more than 1,000 officers raided places were members of the Avenues gang were known to hang out.
Los Angeles' ABC7 was out on the streets this morning to report on today's raids.
