According to the police, those involved had a history of using deadly weapons, and some had ties to the Maniac Latin Disciple street gang. To help with serving the warrants, the Northern Illinois Police Alarm System Emergency Service Team (EST) was contacted.

Along with hundreds of rounds of ammunition, three guns were found. Five more people were taken into custody, and the Waukegan, Illinois, residence on Atlantic Avenue was secured, according to the police.
Five other firearms, ammunition, powdered cocaine, cannabis, gang indicia, and burglary proceeds were found during the search of the home. Charges of aggravated unauthorized use of a weapon and unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon were brought against Anthony Gallegos, 21, of Waukegan.
Accused of two counts of aggravated unauthorized use of a weapon is Ricardo Cruz, 36, of Waukegan. Gregorio Gomez, 33, of Waukegan, was accused of two counts of using a weapon unlawfully in an aggravated manner. He was also the subject of a warrant for parole violation.
Arian Vazquez, 19, of Zion, was detained on suspicion of forgery and aggravated domestic assault. The charge of illegal ammunition possession was brought against Carlos Colon, 22, of Zion.
The four other people who were detained during the operation were freed without being charged. According to authorities, additional charges are pending laboratory and forensic digital analysis.
