Einstein students, parents note more gang presence in region

As police continue to find gang ties to a gun deal that allegedly took place in a locker room at Montgomery County’s Albert Einstein High School, students and parents say that a growing number of students are affiliated with the notorious, predominantly Hispanic gangs seen across parts of the county.

As of Thursday evening, Montgomery County police had arrested five students between the ages of 14 and 17, and a 20-year-old man, Raul Garcia, on theft and gun-related charges. The arrests came in the wake of a gun being fired during what’s being called a gun sale and the discovery of three handguns and several knives in a student’s locker.
