Gang terror of Sylmar
LAPD Senior Lead Officer Charles Chacon of the Mission Division walks though a 64-unit townhome complex at the corner of Astoria and Dronfield, in Sylmar last Tuesday, where there are three different gangs terrorizing residents with violence, drug deals, prostitution and graffiti that covers pretty much every surface
including trees. (John Lazar/L.A. Daily News Staff Photographer)
Brent today hits us with a wallop of a piece from the hood, a neighborhood in the northeast Valley where gang graffiti is not the only problem, but it has a mix of competing gangs, where people have sex in public, drug deals go down in front of kids, and to quote Sgt. John Artes, an ex-gang member rents a garage to a current member who's bringing in girls to run some sort of prostitution ring.
Comments
I lived in Sylmar and I remember when I was looking at subsidized housing and that townhouse complex being listed.
I hope aside from busting these idiots. They also get removed from any kind of government help.
So people who really need it receive it.
