020511gang.jpg Police have arrested 19 alleged drug dealers from two warring Bronx gangs after a year-long probe by the Bronx Narcotics Bureau, and a total of 30 have been hit with federal charges of conspiracy to distribute narcotics. The two groups used to all be known as the The Wheeler Boys, but split off in 2008. One cop said, "These two gangs were like a divorced couple that lived next to each other." Sounds bad, but we can't get over their gang name sounding like the long lost rivals to the Baseball Furies.
