A joint operation by multiple law enforcement agencies around the Bay Area resulted in eight arrests last week for charges related to allegations of firearms possession and gang activity, San Francisco police said in a Nov. 18 press release.

The operation was initiated by the San Francisco Police Department Community Violence Reduction Team, which seized several firearms from an East Palo Alto residence in April of this year.

A months-long investigation into the weapons and multiple crimes around the Bay Area identified several suspects living in multiple jurisdictions.

On Nov. 16, seven search warrants were simultaneously executed by law enforcement.

Amari Green, 18, Xavier Garcia, 18, and Daniela Eaton, 36, were all arrested in San Francisco.
