Twenty-four suspected Nine Trey Gangsters, a subgroup of the Bloods street gang, have been indicted on racketeering, drug, sex trafficking and other charges, a spokesman from the U.S. Attorney’s office said Wednesday.
The indictment naming 24 members and associates of the gang, many of whom are from Manassas and Prince William County, was unsealed Wednesday afternoon, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s office.
“Today’s arrests send a clear message that violent gangs have no place in our community,” Valerie Parlave, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field office said in the news release. “While you may not see violence on your neighborhood street, gang members attempt to rule through violence and intimidation, a dangerous mix for impressionable youth within our region. Together with our partners in Fairfax County, the Northern Virginia Regional Gang Task Force, and other law enforcement agencies, we will work to eradicate violent gangs and bring their members to justice.”
Prosecutors said Thaddaeus Snow, of Manassas, and Curtis Martino, of Elkridge, Md., led two “line-ups” of the Nine Trey Gangsters who committed illegal activities in Virginia, Washington and Maryland. According to the news release, authorities believe that between 2008 and this year, the two groups of gangsters “engaged in racketeering activity involving the transportation and prostitution of women using force and coercion in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, New York, and elsewhere; the commission of robberies; and the distribution of cocaine, crack, marijuana, heroin, ecstasy, and prescription painkillers.”
The suspected gang members are also accused of using counterfeit money to finance drug purchases, according to the news release.
The indictment and related court documents were not immediately available Wednesday afternoon.
The indictment alleges several acts of violence undertaken by gang members. On or about April 1, 2010, according to the indictment, Snow directed gang members Janee Yates, of Warrenton, and William Sykes, of Bealeton, to give a female victim a “buck-fifty,” consisting of slashing the face with a knife from mouth to ear with the aim of requiring 150 stiches to close the wound, because the woman had stolen proceeds of the gang’s drug sales. Prosecutors said the alleged gangsters were also involved in a shooting on April 12, 2010.
The case, part of an Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force investigation called Operation “Ruby Red,” was investigated by the FBI’s Washington Field Office and the Fairfax County Police Department, with assistance from the Northern Virginia Regional Gang Task Force, Hampton Police Department, Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, Manassas City Police Department, and the United States Marshal Service, according to the news release.
