Between June 22 and June 28, 2024, investigators from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department – Gangs/Narcotics Division, along with deputies from patrol stations, served 13 search warrants and contacted suspects at various locations in San Bernardino and Menifee.
Over the one-week period, investigators contacted gang members and persons prohibited from possessing firearms. As a result, more than 300 pounds of illegal narcotics were recovered, including approximately 291 pounds of methamphetamine. During their investigations, five firearms were seized, one of which was a ghost gun. A total of 10 felony arrests were made.
The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors authorized funds for countywide crime suppression. The intent is to provide additional funding to the Sheriff’s Department, allowing for increased law enforcement services related to quality-of-life issues affecting the communities in our county.
Operation Consequences will focus on conducting targeted crime suppression operations in the High Desert and the Sheriff’s jurisdiction surrounding the city of San Bernardino. The operation will include personnel from the Sheriff’s Gangs/Narcotics Division, Specialized Enforcement Division, patrol stations, California Highway Patrol, San Bernardino County Probation, United States Marshals Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force, and Department of Homeland Security Investigations. Operation Consequences will take place over the next several months to curb violent crime, disrupt and dismantle targeted criminal street gangs, and locate and arrest criminals who are illegally possessing, manufacturing and trafficking firearms.
