In Atlanta, local and federal authorities have arrested eight men they say were part of a violent crew of criminals who were the leading cause behind the rise in violent crime in the city. The of the suspects were former New Orleans residents who came to Atlanta after Hurricane Katrina. Police there are investigating to see if the men are responsible for any crimes committed in that city. The arrests were made over the past two weeks. The men are believed to be involved in three murders in Atlanta and may be linked to three other killings.
