Operation Rodeo' Takes Down Alleged Boylston Street Cocaine Ring
Prosecutors say JP's Boylston Street Gang had evolved into a high-level drug operation that was largely taken down Monday in a series of raids. Boston Police and FBI agents executed 16 search and seizure warrants in Boston, Milton and Canton on the morning of July 9. Fourteen arrests were made, and other charges may follow, prosecutors said in a statement. The raids, coming after 13 months of investigation, strike a blow at the Boylston Street gang. That group is perhaps best known in Jamaica Plain for its ongoing feud with the Mozart Street crew — bad blood that caused, among other violent incidents, the shootings and stabbings at Same Old Place in November 2010 that left three men dead. — Chris Helms
