Federal and local law enforcement officials announced court filings and arrests related to an organized crime ring in Los Angeles run by a neo-Nazi group affiliated with the Aryan Brotherhood.

U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada said that the bust being announced Wednesday morning is one of the “largest takedowns in the history of the Department of Justice of a neo-Nazi, white supremacist, violent extremist organization.”

A total of 68 people were indicted as part of the “Peckerwood gang,” Estrada confirmed. Of the 68, a total of 42 are in custody.

“The Peckerwoods are involved in a wide variety of criminal activity, from drug trafficking to fraud offenses to firearms offenses, violence and identity theft,” Estrada said. “But what truly distinguishes them is their hate and animosity to ethnic and religious minorities.”

The Peckerwoods are based in the San Fernando Valley, Estrada confirmed, and get their name from a derogatory term used against poor white people and Caucasians in the prison system.

Members of the group often have tattoos with the letters “SFV” on them, which according to Estrada, means both “San Fernando Valley” and “searching for victims.”

They also collect Nazi paraphernalia — such as swastikas — and Confederate flags, and then display the symbols on their tattoos, clothing and through social media posts. They also display the symbol “88,” which is the numerical symbol for “Heil Hitler,” Estrada said.

The U.S. Attorney cited one example of one gang member named Ryan Bradford, who was found to be selling drugs and manufacturing explosive devices when he was arrested. A “treasure trove” of white supremacist paraphernalia was also found, Estrada added, including replica Nazi uniforms and posters of Adolf Hitler.

Bradford also allegedly made social media posts indicating he wanted to murder and commit genocide of Jewish people.

“In fact, when we searched his home, we found a notepad that had written as its New Year’s resolution: ‘Bake every single Jew,’” Estrada said. “That’s what this group stands for…that’s what the Peckerwoods are all about.”

Incarcerated members of the Peckerwood gang have entered an alliance with the notorious white supremacist Aryan Brotherhood prison gang, and many Peckerwood members are also Aryan Brotherhood members, officials added.

The indictment unsealed Wednesday by officials alleges racketeering conspiracy against the leadership of the Peckerwoods, who reportedly collected large amounts of dangerous drugs, including fentanyl, to sell on Southern California streets.

Leaders would also commit “a variety” of financial fraud crimes to fund their enterprise, Estrada elaborated, and they would use threats of violence and scare tactic to enforce the gang’s rules, which included paying taxes to the Aryan Brotherhood and not cooperating with law enforcement.

Various individual charges, including 60 counts of drug trafficking, are also included in the indictment, Estrada said.
