The Road 2 Riches gang was paved with dangerous intentions.
The NYPD put a stop to their turf wars and violence across Brooklyn, and now families are safer from senseless gun violence.
Thank you to @BrooklynDA for your help. We will never stop working to make our city safer.
There are too many violent and dangerous gangs that claim lives and terrorize our streets.
We're working with the @BrooklynDA every day to shut them down and protect our communities.

Today, alongside @brooklynda, we announced the indictment of 14 individuals for violent crimes, including homicide, and seized 18 illegal firearms from the streets of Brooklyn. We’ll continue in our mission to eliminate illegal guns and protect our communities.
.@BrooklynDA announces another major gang takedown: 14 alleged 59 Brims/Bloodhound Brims members indicted for extensive violence that terrorized South Brooklyn.
Strategic enforcement like this helped us achieve record-low shootings in 2024 & will keep our progress going in 2025.
Important update. Some agencies publicize their indictments and not always follow up on outcomes. In Brooklyn, gang takedowns result in serious prison sentences.

It's heartening to see a public figure like the DA prioritize the needs and safety of our young people by actively participating in initiatives like Saturday Night Lights Brooklyn Day. @BrooklynDA, always present with the people.
States across the country have passed red flag laws— but we must do more to remove obstacles and ease the application process for these vital orders. In my op-ed in @timesunion, I'm calling on the governor and our state legislators to take action. https://t.co/IeBkP0AnLm
