Los Angeles County sheriffs conducted a 24-location sweep and arrested nine members of the Bay Area’s tagging crew ASC (Art Sex Crime). A detailed new database allowed the police to tie thousands of tags to the group and track it across city and county lines.

The cops “estimate” there are 100 members in the crew to credit the magnitude of their uniformed horde.

Sheriff’s Capt. Holly Perez explains on the mystique:

They are very proud of what they do. It’s a different mentality. It really is.
