Operation "Third Watch" targeted the criminal street gang Third Shift

Operation "Third Watch" targeted the criminal street gang Third Shift.Close to 30 sheriffs deputies surrounded a house in Bradenton Thursday night, the latest crackdown on gang activity in Manatee County. 3 members of the 3rd Shift gang were arrested as part of Operation 3rd Watch that began in July of last year. Stuebe says they've confiscated guns, drugs and $52,000 since that time, and now all but 2 members are behind bars. "This is the culmination, really, what we did last night with the search warrant execution. But there are still a few out there that we're probably going to get a little later as the investigation continues."Those 2, Theophille Telfort and Anthony Brown. Brown has been charged with murder in the past, but the charges were dropped. "This is not a typical gang, like the mafia, with a hierarchy and a tier. This group is a little more self serving, less formal, and who is not in jail at the time and is usually the most violent, runs the show for the most part."After those 2 are brought in, Operation 3rd Watch will be complete. But Steube saying busts like these will continue until the gangs are off the streets. "I'm going to stand before you and I'm going to tell you that although this is the 3rd gang in Manatee County that I believe we've put down, we're not finished. We're going to continue our RICO investigations and our collaborative efforts with all of these agencies who have been so helpful to us."
The operation has resulted in the arrest of eleven subjects:
Jamal Edwards, 19,Terry Green, 20
Brian Johnson, 19,Keith Parhm, 22
James King, 21,Ryan Simmons, 24
Annuel Meranvil, 21,Lucien Alexis, 20
Emmanuel Meranvil, 22,Tija Morgan, 22
Jerome Williams, 36
The following suspects are still at large:
Theophille Telfort, 21
Anthony Brown, 18
Five other subjects affiliated with the Third Shift Gang were already in custody and have been indicted on Federal narcotics and weapons charges:
Kary Alexis, 24
Jimmy Lee, 26
Dominic Orr, 19
Davidson Petit, 26
Clifford Saint-Lewis, 23

Four people were arrested on suspected drug charges, including the group's leader.Methamphetamine was found at the Gypsy Joker Motorcycle Club compound at West 19th Avenue and South Gum Street. Benton County Undersheriff Paul Hart said they needed so many officers as a "precautionary" step because the Gypsy Jokers are known to be connected to drugs and other criminal activities."It is an outlaw motorcycle gang with convicted felons who reside there," Hart said. "We gear up to meet that threat."Some stolen property and a couple of weapons also were seized, he said. The Violent Crimes Task Force, made up of federal agents and local police detectives, raided the club house and two homes at 5 a.m.The Benton County Regional SWAT team and the Yakima SWAT team were used to help search all the buildings."Because of the large site ... it makes it difficult to secure and make sure everybody is safe," Hart said.
