New York-based Dominican gang the Trinitarios was dealt a heavy blow this week after New York police and FBI agents arrested 34 of its members on a host of federal charges. The Trinitarios, one of the most dangerous gangs in New York had been growing slowly after being founded in the New York State prison system. The gang is chiefly made up of Dominicans, and there have also been traces of the gang in the DR itself and even in Europe. The two-year investigation into the gang's dealings concluded with the arrest of its three top leaders, seizure of 20 pounds of marijuana and US$2,000 in cash, as well as weapons reportedly used by gang members. Police say the gang had become increasingly violent in recent years.
