Between June 22 and June 28, 2024, investigators from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department – Gangs/Narcotics Division, along with deputies from patrol stations, executed 13 search warrants and contacted suspects at various locations in San Bernardino and Menifee.

During this period, investigators engaged with gang members and individuals prohibited from possessing firearms. As a result, over 300 pounds of illegal narcotics were recovered, including approximately 291 pounds of methamphetamine. Additionally, five firearms were seized, one of which was identified as a ghost gun. A total of 10 felony arrests were made.

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors authorized funds for county-wide crime suppression to provide additional funding to the Sheriff’s Department. This funding aims to enhance law enforcement services related to quality-of-life issues affecting communities within the county.

Operation Consequences will focus on conducting targeted crime suppression operations in the High Desert and areas under the Sheriff's jurisdiction surrounding the city of San Bernardino. The operation will involve personnel from various divisions including the Sheriff’s Gangs/Narcotics Division, Specialized Enforcement Division, patrol stations, California Highway Patrol, San Bernardino County Probation, United States Marshals Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force, and Department of Homeland Security Investigations. Operation Consequences is set to continue over the next several months with objectives to curb violent crime, disrupt and dismantle targeted criminal street gangs, and locate and arrest individuals illegally possessing, manufacturing, and trafficking firearms.
