The Gangs of Norristown

You may have never heard of them, but they're there. While Norristown police continue to tell the local media there isn't a gang problem in the county seat, The Scoop has just found out that Family Services of Montgomery County's Norristown Communities That Care is asking for nearly a quarter million dollars to help combat the problem based on a report from, wait for it, the Norristown Police Department. The Chain Street gang: Bang Bang. The Lafayette and Chain streets gang: LC. The Oak and Smith streets gang: ONS. Some of the gang members are as young as 13, and two of the gangs, Bang Bang and LC have more than 3 dozen members. The Scoop recommends you pay close attention to the streets mentioned above, and stay away, far away!
