OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities are seeking the public’s help in stopping a north Omaha gang suspected of participating in several crimes, including drug sales.

Law enforcement are seeking tips on members of the 40th Avenue/44th Avenue Crips in relation to cases that also include murder, attempted murder and racketeering.

Spokesman John Ham for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says those crimes have been committed in the last few months. He notes that the gang isn’t responsible for all of the violence in Omaha and that agencies also are monitoring other groups suspected of criminal activity.

Ham tells the Omaha World-Herald (http://bit.ly/1cNaexN ) that officials wanted to reach out to the public now because it’s another “tool in our toolbox.”
