Columbia, SC (WLTX) - The Office of the South Carolina Attorney General says a multi-jurisdictional gang investigation led to the arrests of alleged gang members in Richland, Lexington and Newberry counties
Eight people have reportedly been linked to several gang-related incidents in the Midlands, including murder, attempted murder, burglary an conspiracy.
According to a report, the investigation began after a series of shootings were linked in Lexington County and Columbia, including two drive-by shootings, one being an attempt to murder a rival gang member at a school bus stop. In a separate shooting at an apartment complex, prosecutors say they killed a fellow gang member when they shot into a group they believed to be opposing gang members.
Law enforcement agencies say they also connected the shootings to two car dealership burglaries; multiple vehicle thefts in Lexington County and Newberry County and additional car thefts used in four separate shootings.
