Authorities in Cincinnati again target 'Tot Lot Posse,' gang taking name from playground

CINCINNATI (AP) — Authorities say they've charged 27 people with drugs and weapons counts in a new attempt to break up what's called the "Tot Lot Posse" in Cincinnati.

Police believe there are some 70 members in a gang that takes its name from a children's playground near police headquarters. Investigators say the west-end neighborhood gang had rebuilt after a rash of 2004 arrests.

Police link the group to dozens of felonious assaults involving guns and drugs. They say they seized 41 guns and obtained 2.6 pounds of crack cocaine during an investigation, still ongoing, that began in November 2008.

Police on Tuesday displayed some of the guns seized, including a service handgun belonging to a Kentucky State Trooper.
