A dozen people who police say are drug dealers behind a gang known as the Fourth Street Mob are now behind bars. Federal and local law enforcement authorities announced the arrests and a 75-count indictment as part of a broad cooperation between the district and Prince George's County to combat drug crime in neighborhoods.

The pre-dawn raids Wednesday covered 14 locations in D.C. and Prince George's. Authorities seized 23 guns, $50,000 in cash, 12 vehicles, four kilos of cocaine, and other drugs.
