A violent California-based Hispanic gang is setting up drug houses in Vancouver, using newly arrived refugees to do the gang’s dirty work.
Local police fear a surge in violence as MS-13 gangsters clash with rival street gangs.
“They are setting up a large suite, or renting a house, and there’ll be anywhere from a few to 14 new arrivals from Central America living in the house,” said Vancouver police Det. Const. Russ Wardrop.
“There’ll be one [MS-13] gang member in the house who is the house leader and that member makes the arrangements for the drugs and the drug distribution through these other individuals,” Wardrop said.
“It’s very rare to see the gang member standing on the corner selling drugs.”

the ever ongoing and increasing third world immigration is a definite enrichment for all Canadians…….
