Between August 4 and August 10, 2025, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department led a targeted crime suppression effort known as Operation Consequences. The operation involved investigators from the department’s Gangs/Narcotics Division, deputies from patrol stations, and personnel from partnering agencies. Five search warrants were served in Fontana, San Bernardino, and Colton at locations including the 14000 block of Fontlee Lane, the 1400 block of El Molino Street, the 200 block of W Laurel Street in Fontana, the 2100 block of N E Street in San Bernardino, and the 1200 block of Pennsylvania Avenue in Colton.
The San Bernardino Movement Against Street Hoodlums (SMASH) Street Enforcement Team also conducted proactive patrols in Fontana and nearby areas during this period.
According to the department, “Over the one-week period, investigators contacted gang members and people prohibited from possessing firearms. During their investigations, five firearms were seized, two of which were ghost guns. Investigators made eight felony arrests during the operational period.”
Funding for county-wide crime suppression was authorized by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors to support increased law enforcement services related to quality-of-life issues within local communities.
The department stated that “Operation Consequences will focus on conducting targeted crime suppression operations in the High Desert and the Sheriff’s jurisdiction surrounding the city of San Bernardino. The operation will include personnel from the Sheriff’s Gangs/Narcotics Division, Specialized Enforcement Division, patrol stations, California Highway Patrol, San Bernardino Police Department, San Bernardino County Probation, and Department of Homeland Security Investigations. Operation Consequences will take place over the next several months to curb violent crime, disrupt and dismantle targeted criminal street gangs, and locate and arrest criminals who are illegally possessing, manufacturing, and trafficking firearms.”
