Street Gangs Turning To Social Media

Facebook and other social media sites are becoming the tools of choice of local street gangs.

Graffiti and tagging are slowly starting to be replaced by more high tech
forms of communications.

Brad Greer is with the Kenora Street Crimes Unit and says social media
is also a lot more anonymous.

Greer adds that the Native Syndicate and Indian Posse continue to be the
most prominent gangs in this region, though they are keeping a little lower
profile than in the past.

He says their main source of income comes from dealing in weapons and drugs.
