Is Kings Have Arrived (KHA) considered an official street gang out in Baldwin Park. We know the police are calling them a gang though, but they were a tagger crew from what I knew.

Re: CREWS 2 GANGS
I know DHT was small if it was even considered a gang in WLA, but I think the tagging crew that was beefing with NHD back in the day became the gang DHT.
I think some of those dudes went to Uni High

Re: CREWS 2 GANGS
I live close to BP and the only people making noise is ES Bolen and NS Bolen, thye are both pretty physical and have been for years, cant see KHA being able to carve anything out in that area, I do see some KHAx3 tags on the freeway sometime but its right in ESBP hood so I know they arent running anything there.alexalonso wrote:Is Kings Have Arrived (KHA) considered an official street gang out in Baldwin Park.

What about NBT, UBC in HP, BSA on the westside.

^Devious Hoodlums is from Anaheim. Not sure what their hood blocks are. They claim Anaheim Devious Hoodlums (ADH). One of their main rivals is Anaheim La Colonia. Also, the EK I'm referring to in that post is from Santa Ana. Not sure if they're directly connected to the EK in the city of Hawthorne.

Re: CREWS 2 GANGS (Crews that became gangs)
HOB, which is Hang OUt Boys off Broadway and King, I believe was a tagger crew before they started taking on the gang identity.
