A gang injunction was secured this morning against a notorious Rialto street gang that police say have terrorized the city for three decades.
San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Christopher Warner granted the civil injunction, which will bar the 60 or so active gang members from sporting their tattoos, wearing gang clothing or gathering together in the roughly two-mile area once police serve notice.
The "safety zone" stretches between Rialto and San Bernardino avenues to the north and south and Pepper and Lilac avenues to the east and west.
This is the second time in as many days that the District Attorney's Office has been granted gang injunctions, the first of which was against the Colton City Crips. A judge signed that injunction on Wednesday, although he temporarily excluded one of the most prominent members.
