Gilroy – Police arrested nine people in the Morgan Hill and Gilroy areas during a probation sweep.
Members of the Santa Clara County Probation Department, Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, Gilroy Police Department Anti-Crime Team, Morgan Hill Street Crimes Unit and Calif.

The combined force arrested nine people on a variety of violations, including possession of ammunition and narcotics. Some of the 30 people were in compliance of their probation terms.
“The probation compliance sweep was conducted… in an effort to reduce violent crime and property related crime within our communities,” wrote Sgt.
