CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Neighbors in a quiet Canton Township subdivision were shocked Wednesday morning to see federal officers raid a $330,000 home at the end of Leigh Court.
The U.S. Attorney's Office said the raid was part of a larger street gang bust. Local, state and federal law enforcement agencies busted the drug-dealing street gang operating on Detroit's east side. The gang goes by the name "Smokecamp" or "Original Paid Bosses."
Federal investigators said one of the so-called "bosses," Jerray Key, lives at the home in Canton Township. He was busted along with 12 other suspected gang members.
Key, a/k/a “Chino,” “Dre,” 28, is charged with RICO conspiracy and willful engagement in firearms business without a license. He is accused of selling guns to other gang members.
The feds said Key has been bold about his involvement in the gang. They say he posted gang-related business on Facebook and Instagram.
"This indictment is the latest in a string of cases charging violent gang members in the City of Detroit," said U.S. Attorney Daniel L. Lemisch. "We are grateful to the Detroit One collaborative of law enforcement, who are all dedicated to improving the lives of the residents of Detroit."
