The Post Standard reports that the Syracuse Gang Violence Task Force has charged 11 people for selling crack cocaine in alleged gang activities. Police took eight of the 11 into custody and some are due to appear in court Tuesday afternoon.
All the accused are allegedly members of the Uptown gang. The eight in custody range between 18 and 27 years old. Syracuse police Chief Gary Miguel has not release the names of the three others.
The authorities began focusing on targeting the gangs a year ago. Miguel and Mayor Matt Driscoll started the initiative after hearing complaints of gang activity. This is the third gang in the last five year the taskforce has brought down.
