Gang Recruitment Suspected at Osbourn Park High School in Manassas: Police

MANASSAS, VA — Three Osbourn Park High School students were arrested Tuesday on suspicion of gang recruitment on behalf of Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), according to Prince William County Police.

All three 17-year-old males were charged with gang recruitment and gang participation.

Last week, Osbourn Park's School Resource Officer was informed by students and staff of apparent gang-recruitment activity. With the assistance of the Gang Unit, the suspects were identified and charged.

Prince William County Police suggest concerned parents or students read Parents' Guide to Gangs, produced by the National Gang Center.
