Investigators think they've busted up what they call one of Albany's most violent street gangs. As our Curtis Schick explains, gang members using internet helped out investigators.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- They are called Original Gangsta Killers. They go by names like Phat Phat, D-Black and Sixx. Investigators said OGK is a violent drug gang that for years has ruled Albany's South End.

"The OGK protected their territory with violence as necessary," said U.S. Attorney Andrew Baxter.

Federal prosecutors indicted 25 OGK members Thursday on charges related to drug crimes. Investigators said 14 were rounded up earlier in the day, 10 are already in prison, while police are still looking one man. Police crime maps show where investigators think OGK's crimes were committed. They include robberies, shootings and dealing marijuana, crack and cocaine.

Now, investigators said OGK's heaviest drug activity was done at the corner of Teunis and Third and at the corner of Clinton and Fourth.

"Hopefully this sends a message to anyone who wants to be involved with drug trafficking, gang activity and street violence that we will work tirelessly together to identify you and arrest you," said Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings.

Baxter said the gang also produced CDs and videos. In them, he said gang members rapped about violence and retaliating against other gangs. Baxter said all of this together allows for federal racketeering charges.

"The purpose of us going in with federal RICO charges is to get the words out to kids that this kind of activity is going to land them in jail for a very long time," said Baxter.

Baxter said the people charged face at least 10 years and at most life in prison if they are convicted.
