The Dauphin County District Attorney's Office has confirmed the presence of nearly a dozen gangs in the area, highlighting a growing concern for local authorities. Deputy District Attorney **Colin Zwally** stated in an interview with WHP-TV that the gang issue has intensified over the past few years. He attributed this rise to the influence of social media and the idolization of larger cities like Chicago and Philadelphia.
Zwally emphasized the need for proactive measures, suggesting that the county's gang task force might be converted from a part-time to a full-time unit to better address the situation. The DA's Office is actively exploring solutions to curb the influence and activities of these gangs in Dauphin County.
The increase in gang activity has led to heightened fears and incidents in the community, as reported by local news outlets. Efforts to combat this issue are ongoing, with local law enforcement and community leaders working together to find effective strategies.
