Attorney General's anti-gang efforts to be featured on the History Channel's "Gangland" series tonight

Attorney General Bill McCollum and his Office of Statewide Prosecution will be featured on the History Channel's Gangland series tonight. The episode will profile Top 6, a dangerous South Florida gang. Over the past few years, South Florida law enforcement has investigated 41 shootings and 14 homicides, including the triple homicide in Lake Worth on March 27, 2007, directly related to this gang. Law enforcement has also attributed over 150 shootings, including the 2006 Christmas Eve shooting at the Boynton Beach Mall, to Top 6 over the same time period.

This gang has been an extremely active and violent criminal enterprise in Palm Beach County for several years. The episode will air on the History Channel this Thursday, July 2, at 9pm/8pm Central. More information is available at http://www.history.com/content/gangland.
