FBI Strikes Grand Island Gangs - KHGI-TV/KWNB-TV/KHGI-CA-Grand Island, Kearney, Hastings, Lincoln: "FBI sweep nets drug runners and gang members, in what's called an unprecedented operation And right in the middle of this world of gangs and guns are kids as young as 13.
The FBI calls it codename 'Pier Pressure', named for the park where the activity was centered.
'Pier Park, a city park had been virtually overrun by gangs,' said FBI Special Agent Weysan Dun.
They targeted more than a dozen violent criminals. The FBI led a coordinated strike, using 120 officers from 16 agencies in an early morning roundup.
Dun said, 'A number of acts of violence have been prevented, firearms have been taken off the street and drugs taken off the street.'
That it happened at the park is no surprise to those who've spent time feeding geese or skateboarding there."
