EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) - Members of the FBI El Paso's Violent Crime and Gang task force arrested a known felon after executing multiple search and arrest warrants.

The operation was conducted in Central El Paso along La Luz street in search of alleged members of the Chuco Tango gang.

One known felon was found in possession of illegal narcotics, one loaded firearm and ammunition, several thousand dollars in cash, and other items related to the Chuco Tango gang members and was arrested.
