The takedown includes a 129-count indictment in which police say 14 alleged members of the 59 Brims and Bloodhound Brims street gangs terrorized residents in Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay. Officials said a rival gang member was also killed and 18 illegal firearms were seized.

Accused gang members connected to nearly 20 shootings are off New York City streets, authorities say. After a two-year investigation, more than a dozen people have been arrested, accused of violent crimes including murder.

The defendants are facing multiple charges of murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, weapons possession and related charges.
