 1,432 in NN gangs, police say: There are 64 active gangs in Newport News — the highest documented number for the city, according to police. This equates to 1,432 active members. "Gangs do not control our city," Fox said. "We do have gangs and we have seen them escalate since 2004, but they do not control our city like some from the major cities." Fox said most of the local gangs are not violent and do not target random people. Instead, their actions are aimed at other gang members, and most of their crimes are larcenies and burglaries.
