Officials did not disclose any information about the people who were arrested or any specific charges they will be facing.
The crackdown comes as Detroit Police Chief James White is fighting to reduce gun violence across the city. Just last weekend, there were two shootings downtown, including one where officers exchanged fire with suspects in a shootout.
