21 white supremacist gang members and associates are charged with drug and firearm trafficking after 2lbs of meth and 15 guns are seized in federal probe

Twenty-one members and associates of multiple white supremacist gangs in Utah have been charged with drug trafficking and firearm distribution, federal prosecutors said on Friday. 

The charges were announced after 15 indictments were unsealed in court as a result of a 16-month operation targeting three different hate groups. 

The 21 defendants were identified as either members or affiliates of Soldiers of Aryan Culture, Silent Aryan Warriors, and Noble Elect Thugs, the Justice Department said.

They are charged with distribution of methamphetamine, possession of a firearm by a felon, and possession of a firearm during a narcotics trafficking offense, among other offenses.

The indictments come after the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force launched an investigation into illegal gang-related activity around Salt Lake City, West Valley City, and Ogden City in June 2019.

About 1.65lbs of methamphetamine as well as 15 firearms were seized during the probe, officials said.

Ten of the gang members charged on Friday were already in custody for separate crimes, while 11 of the defendants were arrested on Wednesday.

They are expected to make court appearances in the coming weeks.
