A reported Folks Nation gang leader that was wanted for his role in a series of gang hits was arrested in his girlfriend’s basement in Brooklyn where he was hiding out.

Devon Rodney allegedly ordered members of the Folks Nation to carry out hits on rival gangs and robberies spanning four states.

Rodney’s gang has also been tied to a spat of crime sprees that plagued the Houses Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, with seven members of the group charged with murder, robbery and a list of other offenses. Prosecutors say Rodney had been trying to discover if any of his Folks Nation gang members were working with the authorities ahead of his arrest.
