It involved areas such as Wilkinsburg, Duquesne, Penn Hills, Monroeville, Pittsburgh and the counties of Westmoreland, Armstrong and Indiana, authorities said."They brazenly conducted most of their drug trafficking along the Monroeville business district in open parking lots and behind bathroom doors," Hickton said. "They were recognizable through their slogan that they arrogantly displayed on their T-shirts, which read '100 bricks at a time.'"Authorities said children were sometimes employed to run drugs to customers. The investigation began in Wilkinsburg and was expanded through surveillance, controlled drug purchases and communication intercepts, Hickton said."It is certainly unusual that this group was so open about conducting many of these transactions in a commercial district," he said.SLIDESHOW: Photos of the wanted suspectsArrests were made Thursday throughout Western Pennsylvania, starting early in the morning.
