Fourteen active and former U.S. Marines were among 64 alleged perpetrators of an illicit military weapons and drug trafficking ring busted Thursday by California authorities.
Law enforcement made 50 early-morning arrests during a sweep in San Diego County to round up the suspects charged with stealing and selling the goods.
Authorities said they had made the largest dent in an "organized crime network" in more than three years.
"Through solid investigative work and collaboration this task force effectively shut down a large organized crime network committing numerous felonies," said Dave Jones, the state's insurance commissioner.
The investigation began as authorities looked into numerous stolen vehicles in the San Diego area, according to the district attorney.
Seven active-duty Marines, one Navy sailor, and seven former Marines were arrested as part of the bust, according to the district attorney.
