In 2017, Water Dogs Albuquerque members were arrested on charges of dealing in firearms and drugs, as well as stealing cars. The gang’s reputation as a criminal organization was further solidified by these arrests. In spite of being less well-known than other criminal organizations, the police consider them a threat to civilized societies.
