Chief Larry Boone said the operation would make Hampton Roads safer overall.
"Several violent offenders were taken out of our communities last week," Boone wrote. "This was all due to the passion our local and federal law enforcement officers have for justice and safe neighborhoods. I couldn’t be prouder of their hard work and look forward to future operations knowing the positive impact this will have not only in Norfolk, but the Hampton Roads area."
A release from Norfolk Police said the joint operation was supported by the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Hampton Police Division, the Newport News Police Department, the Virginia Beach Police Department, the Portsmouth Police Department, the Williamsburg Police Department and the Chesapeake Sheriff’s Office.
