U.S. Attorney Edward J. Tarver on Monday announced the completion of a joint federal and state anti-gang/violent crime initiative dubbed “Operation Ruffian,” which targeted offenders in Savannah’s Cuyler-Brownville and Carver Heights neighborhoods.
The investigation was spearheaded by the Savannah Area Regional Gun Enforcement Task Force, which was jointly led by the ATF and the Savannah-Chatham police department, said Katy Eargle with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Georgia.
Forty individuals were targeted for prosecution, Eargle said, and 23 are being prosecuted by the Chatham County District Attorney’s Office.
