New York City police nabbed 10 alleged gang members for their links to several instances of bloodshed in parts of the Big Apple dating back to Spring 2021, officials announced.

Ten people from the “Own Every Dollar” (O.E.D.) gang were indicted on Tuesday on a collective 90 criminal counts for their alleged involvement in instances of attempted murder, shootings, a robbery spree and a murder between Spring 2021 and Spring 2022 that spanned two boroughs, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office announced in a release this week.
