"During those contacts, investigators contacted gang members and persons prohibited from possessing firearms," according to the statement. "Over 25 pounds of suspected methamphetamine was recovered, and 32 firearms, which included two ghost guns, were seized. Investigators made 34 felony arrests."

Operation Consequences is a county-funded crime-suppression campaign intended to "curb violent crime, disrupt and dismantle targeted criminal street gangs, and locate and arrest criminals who are illegally possessing, manufacturing, and trafficking firearms," the statement added.

Sheriff's deputies were joined in last weeks raids by fellow officers from the California Highway Patrol, the San Bernardino Police Department, the Ontario Police Department, the Upland Police Department, the Fontana Police Department, San Bernardino County Probation and U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations.
