TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — Police say a round up of gang members that began at 4 a.m. Tuesday in Tacoma aims to arrest 32 people on 51 charges.

Police say each person is accused of criminal conspiracy in the activities of the Hilltop Crips, which include attempted murder, home invasions and carjackings.

All in custody are scheduled for arraignment Wednesday in Pierce County Superior Court.

The arrests are the result of an investigation by Tacoma police, the FBI, South Sound Gang Task Force and other state and federal law enforcement agencies.
