IAN BAILEY

VANCOUVER — They roam the streets in heavily armoured vehicles, jury-rigged for violence.
In a city already tense over a wave of gang mayhem, that image, conjured up by police yesterday, came as cold comfort. There were photos to prove it, though, displayed at a briefing by the force's Violence Suppression Team, a gang task force launched last month after a wave of shootings across the region.
It's bad enough, police said, that the gangsters have bulletproof vests. Holding up a vest, an exasperated Inspector Dean Robinson said that four such items, capable of stopping various handguns and smaller-calibre automatic weapons, have been seized from “very prominent gang individuals.”
But now, he said, there are also the armoured vehicles that can be platforms for violence, not to mention traffic hazards.
“You can imagine one of these things. It's a rolling tank. If it was to collide with a regular vehicle on the road, it would be no contest,” Insp. Robinson said.
He noted that the gang mobiles lack braking power and are so tough that emergency personnel could not break the windows to extract occupants after an accident.
“When they're driving around in these vehicles, they feel invincible,” he said. “Well, I don't like them feeling that way so I am real happy when any police agency can take one of these things off the road.”
Constable Tim Fanning, a department spokesman, said the cars have occasionally been seen in the past, but are an “emerging trend” that has registered with police to the point that they decided to talk about them yesterday – with pictures displayed for reporters.
Insp. Robinson said police had heard the vehicles might be on the road, but are now finding them. Last month, after a routine traffic stop in Surrey, police seized a Cadillac Escalade, complete with bulletproof side glass and an extra rear gate to ensure “ballistic integrity,” in the words of Insp. Robinson. The vehicle also had extra-large tires and modified brakes.
“There were two very well-known gang individuals inside the vehicle, and as you can see, it was heavily armoured and is now in our custody,” Insp. Robinson said.
Earlier this month, a Chevy Suburban tried to evade police in downtown Vancouver. One passenger threw a loaded pistol out of the vehicle, leading to firearms charges.
Insp. Robinson said that vehicle “was almost MacGyvered,” with welded metal plates – a reference to the 1980s-era TV series, partly shot in Vancouver, in which mundane items were used to create devices to help the hero deal with almost any situation.
The vehicle also had a police-like strobe light and a siren. And there was a viewing screen inside for a camera mounted in the rear by the licence plate. It was impounded because its vehicle identification number had been removed.
“I don't believe we have seized the only two that are out there. We couldn't tell how many are out there,” Insp. Robinson said.
ICBC spokeswoman Kate Best said the corporation is trying to figure out how to deal with the criminal twist in vehicle modifications. “It's a new and emerging issue and something we're currently monitoring,” she said. “We're committed to working with the police.”
Insp. Robinson also touted the overall work of his anti-gang team, noting that 23 criminal charges have been laid through their work, seven firearms seized, and 2,623 people checked. The unit, he said, is also generating intelligence on gangs for police across the region.
But he was pressed on the lack of arrests in the wave of shootings that killed two in a Chinese restaurant, and have seen victims killed or wounded in various locations around Vancouver, including some of the city's most affluent neighbourhoods.
In suburban Surrey, six men were found dead in one apartment unit in October – four linked to gang activity and two innocent bystanders.
“This whole thing was to focus on an extreme level of violence and that was the catalyst, those events you have just described,” Insp. Robinson said. |

Kinda puts our problems in perspective. So are our gangs just not as competitive, or just not as rich? |

I was gonna say something about that before....from what I know Chicago is the US's third largest city, soooo your numbers sound about right! Def a lot bigger than toronto. Some areas of Chicago are HUGE with gangs.
Places in the US to avoid:
In New York City:
south bronx, east brooklyn (crown heights, Bed-stuy, flatbush, east new york, brownsville), Jamaica (queens), Far Rockaway (queens), East Harlem (spanish harlem)
The rest of the country:
detroit hoods (8 mile, etc), newark--->dont EVER go here!!, trenton, ANY ghetto in philly, south central LA/long beach/inglewood/etc, camden :nervous: (any hood in NJ is just fakin the worst you will ever see....people live in mansions in the BX in comparison), and the baltimore project areas. ^^There are def more, but these places are the most notorious in the states. |

Simply hoodrats with guns and no morals...born, live and die in the ghetto, never progress, never gain any capital or enterprise...the real "gangster" is a thing of the past
the worst is them using the name or personification, of italian, irish or jew gangsters of the past
this new wave is a joke...the triad's, Italians and even the scum biker gangs have structure and keep to their own...in other words organized crime
i hate how a gay nickname a hot revolver and a crime, labels someone a "gangster"
imo just a bunch of lazy, uneducated pickpocket s who graduate to mugging, robbing and dealing... |

Bud,
What difference does it make?
You sound like you're proud to be Italian cause of the Mob.
We live in a society that glorifies the "bad guy". Its pretty fahking sad when you think about how brainwashed we are. And btw, innocent people die all the time, even by the hands of organized "mobsters". |
