Ten arrests were made yesterday (Thursday) by the FBI’s Greater Omaha Safe Streets Task Force. This was the culmination of a year-long operation targeting narcotics and weapon trafficking by an Omaha gang.  Four arrests were made in early May as part of the operation.

The Task Force is still trying to locate two fugitives. They urge anyone with information about the location of Brian Chaidez or Amanda Marie Samaroo to contact Omaha Crime Stoppers at 444-STOP, at www.omahacrimestoppers.org or on the P3 Tips mobile app.
