MILWAUKEE (AP) — Federal and local law enforcement officers in Milwaukee are on the hunt for several suspects after an eight-month investigation into a street gang.

The FBI says the investigation resulted in federal indictments against 11 members of the Gangster Disciples. They face drug and weapons charges.

Authorities say five people have been arrested. Police were looking for six more defendants.

The FBI says the men are responsible for numerous acts of violence and the sale and distribution of controlled substances, including heroin and cocaine.

All of the members still at large are considered to be armed and dangerous.
