One resident of 1575 Treat was arrested this morning as part of a regional series of raids by the ATF.

According to Special Agent Kim Riddell of the ATF Public Information Office, details of the raids were under seal and would only say those arrested were scheduled to be arraigned today at 1:30 p.m. in the U.S. Federal Court building in San Francisco.

A tipster to Precita.org said the arrested man was known as "Moe". Someone else described the scene: "there were about 6 or 8 guys with shotguns wearing ATF windbreakers standing around outside".

[UPDATE] KRON has coverage of the arrests this morning on Treat.

U.S. Attorney Joseph P. Russoniello announced the arrests today, and said the arrest on Treat was one of 14 alleged "mid-level" drug and gun traffickers in Northern California with Mexico, and that the suspects were involved in trafficking since at least 2006. They are considered to be the "king men" or "managers" in drug and gun trafficking communities in Northern California.

SF Examiner had brief coverage, as did CBS 5 / bay Cities News Service which said "Authorities did not release specifics about the raids, but said they involved searches related to guns and drugs."

San Jose Mercury had an article about the regional raids but no details on the San Francisco arrest.
