The Regional Gang Unit has arrested more than 50 people affiliated with a local Blood gang called "KO," otherwise known as Knockout.
The Gang Unit worked with the Northern Nevada Safe Streets Task Force to spearhead a multi-year investigation into the gang going back to 2022.
Since then the unit seized 30 guns, several pounds of illegal drugs, and more than $10,000 according to a release from the Reno Police Department.
They say that prior to the investigation, violent incidents between "KO" and other local gangs resulted in multiple homicides and other crimes, including local shooting-related offenses over the last five years.
The majority of the gang's members have been removed from the community and are now serving substantial prison sentences.
