More than 160 people have been arrested in a series of police sweeps across Eastern Washington that have targeted suspects in gang-related and violent crimes. "There are times when you've got to scrape the crud off the streets and arrest the guys that are habitual criminals," said Yakima County Sheriff Ken Irwin. The operations, which involved local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, were made last week but not announced until Monday. In the Yakima Valley, the arrests led to the discovery of a Zillah chop shop and a marijuana growing operation at an undisclosed Lower Valley location.
