In the late summer of 2021, the Dallas Police Department Southwest Patrol Division Crime Response Team (CRT)/Deployment Unit was notified of a criminal organization using the street name of “Brotha Hood Soljas” or “BHS”. Members of the criminal organization are responsible for various crimes such as aggravated kidnapping, injury to a child, narcotics trafficking, and weapons violations. Officers quickly found that members of BHS were utilizing social media to advertise their crimes and glamorize the illicit acts with the use of children in their social media presence.
During the investigation, multiple CRT/Deployment units along with Homeland Security Investigations identified locations utilized by members of the BHS organization. After conducting a detailed analysis of the criminal combination, various interviews, and obtaining multiple arrests and search warrants, a giant operational force assembled to take all offenders into custody.
On Friday, February 25, 2022, multiple Dallas Police Units and outside law enforcement agencies assisted in executing various search and arrest warrants at multiple locations throughout the city and in the City of Desoto to dismantle the BHS criminal organization.
The following locations were searched:
