The street gang is believed to be involved in numerous crimes including assault, extortion, narcotics, book making, illegal gambling and public corruption.

Vietnamese-American community leader Quyen Mai says the arrests serve as a wake-up call to anyone who thinks they can get away with committing crimes.

"I feel sad for these people, and their families, too," Mai said.

He's hopeful that more people will now focus their energy on making San Jose a better place for all.

"How can we come up with programs, and services that can address this issue, that can prevent this from happening again in the community," Mai said.
