BOSTON AREA STING OPERATION NETS MANY CAPE VERDEANS
Responding to a crime wave that local law enforcement attributes to gangs of Cape Verdean youths, a pre-dawn sting operation was organized. The sting resulted in the detention of 19 Cape Verdeans, all but one of who is in his teens or 20s. According to the INS, all of the youths detained for deportation have been convicted of serious felonies such as gun possession and drug trafficking. 
Authorities trace the rising violence within the Cape Verdean community was a murder in 1996. Both the victim, Bobby Mendes, and the alleged perpetrator, Nardo Lopes, were members of the same extended family, which has now apparently split into two factions, one supporting Lopes, who is still being sought by police, and one that condemns him. 
There are currently about 140,000 Cape Verdeans living in the Boston area.
