For 10 years, a deadly gang known as the Raysor Organization dominated the crack trade in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, ready to burn down a building or shoot a rival or witness to keep its lucrative operation going, federal authorities said.

It used Norfolk as a training ground for young gang recruits, teaching them the trade in Park Place - which is similar to some neighborhoods in Brooklyn - and in Ocean View, federal prosecutors in New York said Friday.

The gang allegedly killed as many as four people in Norfolk and fire-bombed a house on 27th Street. They ran crack houses and safe houses and made tens of thousands of dollars every week selling crack on the streets of Norfolk.
