Major Success In Thug Roundup

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) on Thursday, concluded an investigation resulting in the arrest of 5 violent armed repeat offenders who have extensive criminal histories.

These violent felons preyed upon the citizens of the Holden Heights and Ivy Lane areas of Orange County, Florida.

This investigation is a result of the close cooperation between ATF & OCSO in combating violent crime. This joint investigation with OCSO was conducted as part of ATF’s Violent Crime Impact Team (VCIT) initiative program that targets armed violent offenders.

Orange County is safer today as a result of the arrest of these previously convicted violent felons.
