FBI officials and partners have carried out what they call a “violent gang takedown” in Columbus, Georgia, as part of Operation Sweet Silence, which has resulted in the seizure of more than $20 million worth of meth, marijuana, cocaine, and fentanyl, according to the agency.

Around 119 firearms have been removed from the streets, with the gang members getting convicted, according to an April 20 post on X by FBI Atlanta. “The streets of Columbus are safer today!” the agency said.
