Several lots on Carter Road have allegedly been tagged with gang graffiti according to police reports.

One trailer was spray painted on the back side with the word "SWOOP" a five-point star and the letters "JBS" underneath. Another lot was graffitied with "JBS" and still another with "213 BLOODS" and "JBS".

Gang members of Bloods set 214 have been identified in Barrow County and arrested for crimes such as drug sales, aggravated assault, burglary, weapons possession and more.

Members of Bloods set 214 are mainly white with some blacks and claim turf on the west side of Winder, Bethlehem, southwest Statham and Auburn.

Some affiliated symbols for the gang are the five-point star, three small dots and the letters MOB.

Also, a pants leg being rolled up or a hat tilted to the left can be a sign of gang involvement.

If you suspect gang-related activity or graffiti in your area, notify the police.
