GANG-RELATED OFFENSES 

Sting operations are currently underway in this state to find and prosecute criminal offenders involved in street gangs. Nearly 300 gangs exist in this area, which has resulted in the establishment of a special law enforcement gang task force. The police and task for members tenaciously pursue arrests and convictions for any gang-related offenses, especially those involving: drugs, firearms, sex crimes, hate crimes and violent crimes (murder, assault, kidnapping, robbery and carjacking). Many gang members are immigrants or non-U.S. citizen, and can be deported and returned to their home country if they are arrested for committing a crime.

If you or a loved one has been charged with a gang-related crime, contact a knowledgeable Maryland criminal defense attorney for prompt legal assistance. A qualified lawyer can protect your rights and develop a strong defense to prevent imprisonment or deportation.
