Subj: Mexican Mafia/York update


HCMU - Although we aren't out in the field in York City too often, please keep this in mind during your travels for our work. I have had many trainings on York City gangs and this gang frightens me more today than any of my previous knowledge of them. Please read updates from Adult Probation and Sheriff’s Office and keep in mind, regardless of time of day, S. Queen St. is not a place for any of us to travel by. Try and use George and connect down at Springettsberry or take George to Rathton (by the hospital) if you need to travel through the southeast corner of the city:



Please be aware that we have a faction of the Mexican mafia that has moved into York City. These individuals are the real deal. They are being influenced and possibly directed by California members. The area that they have greatest influence currently is the Queen Street area. They have tagged from the Stadium to Springettsbury Ave. They appear to claim approx one block on either side of Queen Street. They are actively recruiting Mexican Americans in the York Area. They have also aligned with a group named Los Capos. We do not have a significant amount of information on this group. I advise you avoid this area and that (young people) stay off "the circuit" if it travels through this group's turf. The Mexican gangs are the most violent!!!!! Also tell your (friends)!!!



It sure is. In fact, they cover all but the entire city including North York Borough. Their graffiti is pretty simple " Le eMe". We've also seen their tags in the Dover area. However, most of the Gang Members in the out skirts are kids that "emigrated" from the city and think they are being tough. "Little Mexico" (200 - 400 block of South Queen Street) is a very dangerous place to be even if your just driving through. They are a notorious group that will stop at nothing to harm "La Blancos" or white people. However, their violence towards white's does not rival that of the violence towards Puerto Ricans. Do not dare to confuse a Mexican for a Puerto Rican. They are mostly skilled in knife fighting and rarely use guns. However, they are heavily armed. Recently, assault weapons such as AK 47s and AR 15 rifles have been found in York. The e-mail was correct. That area SHOULD be avoided.â€Â

We have our government to thank for this problem.


Great, they can carry weopons but we can't. Our government wants us to be impotent.
