A total of 30 suspects were arrested and 20 firearms were seized—including four assault weapons and two unregulated firearms known as “ghost guns”—in a recent operation targeting a “violent organized criminal group” in Stockton, according to California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

“Let today’s announcement send a clear and strong message: violent crime will not be tolerated in California,” said Mr. Bonta in a Sept. 28 statement.
