Gilbert police won't say why it took over a year to go after 'Gilbert Goons'

[Michael A. Turdsmeller]

A string of arrests have been made by police in Gilbert, Mesa and
Pinal County in recent weeks in relation to the high school gang
that called themselves the “Gilbert Goons.” The arrests are coming
fast and furious now, but attacks by the gang went on for more than
a year.

In October, 16-year-old Preston Lord was beaten to death outside of
a house party in Queen Creek. Not long after, reporters at the
Arizona Republic started connecting the dots between the homicide
and a string of other assaults in the area. Many of them had been
filmed and posted online.
