Gang Suppression Unit Nabs Known Gang Member in Arden Area
SACRAMENTO, CA — “On April 15, detectives from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Gang Suppression Unit (GSU) located a known probationer and validated gang member in the Arden area and conducted a vehicle stop.
During a search of the vehicle, deputies located an illegally possessed firearm, narcotics, and a significant amount of cash.
The suspect, 36-year-old Luis Garay, was arrested and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on seven new felony charges.
Our Gang Suppression Unit focuses on identifying and targeting violent offenders, removing illegal guns from the street, and making arrests that directly impact public safety. As one of the last full-time gang units in California, their work is a key part of our enforcement efforts.
Under the County’s proposed budget cuts, this unit would no longer exist. The impact of that decision would be felt immediately in our neighborhoods, with fewer resources focused on those driving violence in our community.”
