The Gilbert Police Department has reopened four criminal investigations involving teenagers, including incidents connected to the group known as the “Gilbert Goons.” These investigations have been reopened for undisclosed reasons.
The “Gilbert Goons” are a group of predominantly affluent teenagers who have been involved in a series of violent attacks on other teens in the southeast Valley for over a year, as revealed in an investigation by The Arizona Republic. The attacks have included the use of brass knuckles, beatings, and other forms of violence.
