Arizona was always open territory, probably because there wasn't enough there to support a single large active family. Often mobsters moved there to retire, vacation, etc just like anyone else. The mob activity that did exist seemed to be shared by various people from Chicago, NY and Detroit.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungleāas old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Back in 2000, there was an Outfit jewelry theft ring that had pulled scores in several states, including Arizona.
I wonder if these guys had to deal with Schiro somehow (tribute or at least permission) since they were operating in his area?

Another was William Handhart, a former Chicago police detective. They had pulled jewelry heist jobs in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota, Texas, Arizona, and California that came to about $10 million.
Mods should mind their own business and leave poster's profile signatures alone.
