Twenty-two suspected gang members have been arrested so far and investigators say more arrests are coming. They range in age from 19 to 24 years old. Investigators say they committed crimes in all corners of the Valley and those crimes were becoming increasingly violent. 3TV http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2406334/posts#comment Sat, 12 Dec 2009 23:53:55 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2389597/posts People Say Animals Are Preying On Larger Livestock.
