Fruit Belt Gang also known as the Fruit Belt Posse[1] is a street gang based in Buffalo, New York in the Fruit Belt area and is the direct opposition to the Central Park Gang.[2]

History

The gang was originally established in the Fruit Belt area during the 1960's and 1970's during the rise of the African American community inside that neighborhood.[3] The gang instituted violence in the area and perpetuated it heavily in the coming years of the 1980's and 1990's and started gaining infamy in that time.[3] The group's establishment was centered around Jefferson Avenue and the surrounding area of Cold Springs in Buffalo.[4] After the establishment of the Central Park Gangs, violence has been rampant between the two gangs in the area of Fruit Belt and Cold Springs and many shootings in the area are due to the violence between the two gangs.[5]

Many shootings that occur in the name of the Fruit Belt gang happen on the street called Grape Street which is located near the founding territory of Jefferson Avenue and the corner of High Street, which is also the area of another rival gang further down known as the Central Park Gang.[6]

Many projects and organizations have been made to combat youth gang membership including city peacemakers known colloquially as the Buffalo Peacemakers and Back to Basics Outreach Ministries attempt to stop minors from getting involved in gang and other criminal activity.[7]

The group sells illegal narcotics and weaponry over state lines into Pennsylvania in order to finance illegal activity, this was found the Pennsylvania state troopers when they arrested five members associated with the gang travelling with illegal contraband.[8]
