San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie M. Dumanis, San Diego County Supervisor Bill Horn and Oceanside Police Chief Frank McCoy announced today that a renewed gang injunction has been approved by a Superior Court Judge in Vista. The Preliminary Injunction is against about 50 members of a street gang operating in the City of Oceanside. “This latest gang injunction will make Oceanside safer for law-abiding citizens who are being harassed, intimidated and victimized by gang members on a regular basis,” said DA Dumanis. “It’s proven that crime goes down when we get these injunctions, and we will continue to use this legal strategy in our fight against gang violence.” Today’s order prohibits certain activities within two designated “Safety Zones” in Oceanside. The key provisions of the injunction prohibit defendants from associating with other gang members, wearing gang colors, or flashing gang hand signs. Other provisions prohibit activities which are already illegal, such as drinking alcohol or using drugs in public, possessing weapons, trespassing, and graffiti. Violating the injunction can result in criminal prosecution resulting in a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail. “For years, a coordinated law enforcement effort has kept the pressure on North County street gangs,” said Supervisor Bill Horn. “I commend the District Attorney, the Oceanside Police Department and the Superior Court for this renewed gang injunction, designating two neighborhood ‘safety zones’ in Oceanside. Our streets belong to law-abiding citizens and these injunctions are one way to keep violent gangs in check.” Gang injunctions have been used successfully by the District Attorney’s Office since 1997. The injunctions were filed following complaints from residents about gang activities in their neighborhood. Residents told the Oceanside Police Department and the District Attorney’s Office that they did not feel safe. Information on Gang Injunctions, including maps of “Safety Zones” can be found on the San Diego County District Attorney’s website at http://www.sdcda.org/protecting/gang.php.

From the perpendicular line through an undeveloped area from SR-76 to the 800 block of Carey Rd. southbound to the 100 block of Carey Rd. at the intersection of Canyon Dr. (east boundary).
