The term "street gang" is commonly used interchangeably with "youth gang", referring to neighborhood or street-based youth groups that meet "gang" criteria. Currently, the gang has an active membership, with the count surpassing around ten to fifteen members. The gang operates around Willowfield, a district in the south-east area of Los Santos, San Andreas in areas including, Elbert Street, Arbutus Street, & Sampson Street. These area's are known for its prominent gang activity and is a low-income district with a high crime rate. These neighborhoods have become unsafe and invested with drug addicts loitering and engaging in illegal activities on the streets. This has caused fear and discomfort among families and individuals. Criminal incidents like theft, vandalism, and drug dealing have increased, making it challenging for law-abiding citizens to feel safe. As a result, property values have declined, and overall livability has suffered. Efforts by the authorities to address these issues have not been very successful, leaving the community feeling exposed and neglected.
