...police source told TIME Friday that a major operation that could wrap up as early as next week may tip the investigation. Officially, they said Friday that a big step was taken with the bust of a 26-year-old man taken into custody earlier this week. Frank Limon, Chicago's chief of organized crime, described the man, who has yet to be charged, as a potentially crucial link to larger dealers and perhaps the root of the outbreak. While overseeing operations on Chicago's West Side and just southwest of the city, the man allegedly used children, including...
