By Benjamin Flowers: Today, the Belize Police Department made another in a series of arrests in an ongoing crackdown on gang activity, and the department says that other gang members need to take heed.

Police said that 28-year-old Belize City resident Steve Martin Moss was formally arrested and charged with the offense of “being the member of a gang.”

Moss stands accused of being a member of the South Side Gang (SSG).

At a press briefing earlier today, Head of Communications for the Office of the Commissioner of Police ASP Fitzroy Yearwood said the gang affiliation arrest will not stop.

“If you are a member of a gang you must be prepared that someday we will be knocking at your door,” Yearwood said.

Police also arrested 20-year-old Punta Gorda resident Patrick Luis O’Brien Jr, yesterday for the same offense.

O’Brien is accused of being a member of the Cemetery Crips Gang.
