From possible gang tagging in Siloam Springs to what police are calling a gang jump in at Bentonville High School, police say gang crimes are being committed in Benton County. Rogers police may have the best understanding of what gangs are in the area. Both Rogers and Siloam Spring police say members of El Salvador gang MS-13 have been in Northwest Arkansas for about a decade. They also recognize the Klu Klux Klan as a gang and say they have been around even longer. But apart from those two gangs, Rogers police say at least twenty-five more gangs have members living in the city. Police don`t point to any serious gang activity in the Rogers at this time, but they do see graffiti.
