Ten reputed members of the Four Corner Hustlers street gang have been charged in U.S. District Court with running open-air drug markets that distributed cocaine and fentanyl-laced heroin on Chicago’s West Side.

The joint operation by Chicago police and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security led to the seizure of four rifles, four handguns, a MAC-10 submachine gun, a shotgun, and more than 450 rounds of ammunition, as well as “multiple” kilograms of narcotics, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The conspiracy charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors are asking that all 10 federal defendants be held without bond pending trial. Detention hearings for those seeking bond have been scheduled for next week at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse. U.S. Attorney John Lausch and several federal and local law enforcement officials are scheduled to hold a news conference announcing the takedown this afternoon.
