Gangs like B.C.’s Brothers Keepers and Toronto’s Driftwood Crips work closely together in the rap music business and in criminality, an Ontario expert says.
Andrew Hammond, a sergeant with the Toronto Police Service and president of the Organization for National Gang Information and Awareness (ONGIA), told Postmedia News that Canadian street gangs have broadened their operations both across Canada and internationally.
“This has been building for the last six, seven or eight years,” said Hammond. “The reach of these gang members now, it’s national, it’s international.”
