Prosecutors say the highly organized gang, called TBO, held weekly meetings to discuss its illegal activities.

Detectives friended gang members on Facebook to track their actions.

The gang started in Bushwick. Its tentacles also extended to Coney Island and Brownsville.

The crimes occurred between November 2010 and September of this year.
