Major investigation of Latin Kings gang in Lehigh Valley

Don't assume graffiti in Coatesville is "just local kids". If the graffiti is from a known street gang it's most likely put there by gang members. Most street gangs do not tolerate "lookalikes" or "wannabes". Sort of a "copyright infringement", only they don't go to court to enforce it. 
“Hundreds of police officers, federal drug agents and SWAT teams armed with federal indictments invaded Bethlehem before dawn Wednesday to take down an army of Kings.
From The Morning Call:
"34 alleged Latin Kings captured, drugs and guns seized in raids. 3-year investigation leads to murder, kidnapping, assault charges."

From:
U.S. Department of Justice
United States Attorney
Eastern District of Pennsylvania


Separate indictments charge 23 more with drug and gun offenses
