Fourteen people were indicted by a grand jury, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced, and are accused of poaching wildlife in several counties.
Authorities say the poaching happened in Maricopa, Yavapai and Coconino counties.
Between 2018 and 2021, the complaint says the suspects illegally killed bighorn sheep, elk, pronghorn antelope, deer, javelina and turkeys.
Mayes says this resulted in the loss of more than $200,000 worth of wildlife in Arizona. The group is accused of conspiracy, theft and animal cruelty.
The names of the suspects weren't released.
