Lynn woman charged in connection with Boston gang

February 16, 2024 by Joel Barnes

A woman from Lynn has been charged with wire fraud and accused of involvement with a Boston gang.

40 alleged members of the Heath Street Gang, which authorities say operates in and around the Mildred C. Hailey Apartments in Jamaica Plain, are being charged with a federal RICO case for drug, gun, and financial fraud charges, acting United States Attorney Joshua Levy announced earlier this week. 

Taisha Garcia, 27, of Lynn, is being indicted for wire fraud, according to court documents. 

The Lynn Police Department’s logs indicate that Garcia was arrested Wednesday on a courtesy booking. 

The Heath Street Gang allegedly took part in a COVID-19 fraud scheme and retail theft, court documents indicated. In total, they allegedly raked in more than $900,000 in fraudulent money and used some of it to buy more than 100 illegal firearms, Levy said.
