Two arrests were made in Joshua Tree last week by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Gang/Narcotics Division.
Between February 21 and March 1, the Sheriff’s Department served 14 search warrants related to gang members and felons believed to be in possession of weapons or narcotics as part of Operation: Consequences. One of those warrants was served in 61800 Block of El Reposo Circle in Joshua Tree, and another was served in the 6300 Block of Olympic Rd. of Joshua Tree. Additional warranted were served in San Bernardino, Yucaipa, Hesperia, and Banning.
A representative of the Sheriff’s Department said that more specific information about arrests made as part of Operation: Consequences could not be shared due to possible connections to gangs, narcotics, and future investigations. In the last week, Operation: Consequences led to 14 felony arrests, and the seizure of 14 firearms, including one ghost gun, along with 1.75 pounds of suspected methamphetamine and one-quarter pound of suspected cocaine across the search warrants countywide.
