A group of gang members who trafficked drugs and guns

A group of gang members who trafficked drugs and guns and used dating websites to connect with people interested in hiring prostitutes were responsible for a series of robberies that led to four deaths, federal prosecutors said Friday. Dubbed the “fentanyl robbery gang,” the group worked from New Hampshire to Virginia, according to Gerard Karam, the U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. The group is linked to three deaths in Pennsylvania and one in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and prosecutors said it is likely there are other victims. The investigation involved several state, county and local law enforcement agencies in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, as well as the FBI and the U.S. Marshal’s Service in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
