San Bernardino, CA – A week-long operation carried out by investigators from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, in collaboration with the Patrol Stations, led to the service of 28 search warrants and contacts with several suspects in various locations within San Bernardino, Victorville, Hesperia, Highland, and Rancho Cucamonga. The operation took place between February 25 and March 3, 2023, and was conducted by the department’s Gangs/Narcotics Division.
During the one-week period, investigators seized 28 firearms, two of which were ghost guns, and over 82 pounds of narcotics. The team also arrested 16 individuals on felony charges.
To further enhance law enforcement services related to quality-of-life issues affecting the communities in the county, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors authorized additional funding to assist with county-wide crime suppression.
The new initiative, named 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, and Patrol Stations. Other agencies, such as California Highway Patrol, San Bernardino County Probation, and Department of Homeland Security Investigations, will also participate in the operation.
The primary objectives of Operation Consequences will be to curb violent crime, disrupt and dismantle targeted criminal street gangs, and locate and arrest criminals who are illegally possessing, manufacturing, and trafficking firearms. The operation will take place over the next several months.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department has a zero-tolerance policy on all crimes, including violent crime and drug trafficking. The department is committed to ensuring public safety and enhancing the quality of life for all residents in the county.
This initiative is a clear indication of the department’s dedication to protecting the community and ensuring that the people can live and work in a safe environment. The Sheriff’s Department encourages anyone with information regarding criminal activity in the county to report it to law enforcement. By working together, law enforcement agencies, and the public can help to make San Bernardino a safer place for everyone.
