On January 20, 2009 15 reports were taken in reference to Criminal Acts of Criminal Damage Graffiti, throughout Prescott Valley. The investigation led to the issuance of a search warrant for several residences in Prescott Valley.
On January 22, 2009 the Prescott Valley Police Department Criminal Investigations Section drafted and executed search warrants for five residences of the subjects involved in the gang fight from January. The search warrant revealed evidence of participating in a street gang and illegal weapons.
