Eight alleged gang members and associates were indicted Thursday for numerous violent crimes across Long Island, according to the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York.

The alleged members and associates of the Insane Crips Gang from Hempstead are accused of committing over a dozen shootings and three murders between 2016 and 2022.

News 12 is told six of those arrested are from Long Island. Their ages range from 19 to 26.

The suspects have been formally charged with racketeering, murder, robbery and fraud.

The arrests come after an investigation by the FBI, Nassau County and state police.

"From house parties to hotel rooms to the streets of Hempstead, anywhere was fair game for this gang's attack," said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Carolyn Pokorny. "They have shot at the police and at bystanders."

News 12 is told the alleged gang members also recruited new members through social media.
