WINDSOR — Small towns are susceptible to gang encroachment, a fact made evident by several recent incidents and the appearance of menacing graffiti found around Windsor, according to members of state and local law enforcement.
Criminal street-gangs, what they do, how to recognize their handiwork and what might be done about them were discussed last week at the Windsor Ruritan Club building.
Included in the presentation were photos of young people living in Windsor believed to have some level of involvement with a criminal gang. Many of the pictures were found with relative ease by searching on the social networking Web site, MySpace, Chief of Windsor Police Robert Porti said.
