"Town Keeps Gangs Away" Police Chief Carlisle says, "I think there is some gang activity in Vienna, but it is not related to criminal events."
In the second article, Vienna's Gang Officer Det. Sheeran says, "You might see a group of young men, all wearing the same color shirt, maybe bandanas. And someone may think, ‘a gang.’ You look more closely and you realize it’s a soccer team." Mayor Seeman continues to say, "I believe we’re pretty much on top of this."
(VCG Editor's Note: Please see the crimes listed here. We're pretty sure they weren't committed by soccer teams.)
