Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 



We're joined by Brett Jensen to talk about the rising threat of organized crime and the evolving tactics used by international gangs in the Charlotte area. Brett shares highlights from his in-depth interview with U.S. Attorney Russ Ferguson, who oversees the Western District of North Carolina. Ferguson revealed that roughly 70% of the gang-related crime they deal with involves groups from Central and South America, many of whom are becoming more sophisticated—eschewing tattoos and graffiti to avoid RICO charges. They also discussed international burglary crews flying into the U.S., robbing homes, and flying out the same day.



Even more alarming, Ferguson outlined how Chinese money laundering and synthetic drug trafficking—particularly fentanyl and even deadlier “nitazenes”—are impacting the region. With school starting soon, Brett emphasized the urgency of community awareness. He also teased major developments in local politics, including a new sheriff’s race contender and surprising GOP endorsements in North Mecklenburg.
