The Grove Street Family

Introduction

The Grove Street Family or G$F, are a street gang that resides in Grove Street and lay claim to everything South of Olympic Freeway. Grove Street was founded by former member Omar Little and now lead by Jack Jackson.

Overview

GSF controls the distribution of marijuana within the area commonly referred to as the "South Side". If people want to sell in their territory, they must get the product through the gang and they provide the buyer with protection (right to sell) within the controlled areas as long as they don't bring heat from the police.

History

The Grove Street Family was founded by Omar Little. GSF controls the marijuana in South of Los Santos. They are affiliated with the Leanbois and were allied with them. GSF is known for its criminal activity, ranging from murder and extortion to kidnapping, drugs, and had territorial disputes with Los Santos Thugs and the Los Santos Vagos. They lay claim to Grove Street and rest of the south side; people who drive erratically or are selling weed there tend to get hemmed up.

Feud with The Lost

For a long number of months in late 2017, GSF and The Lost MC fought over control of weed distribution, among other things. Most of their continued problems from this originate with the repeated shootings of MC members and Grove members, especially the kidnapping and near-death of Lil Tuggz who had written a slanderous rap song about the "South-side". Eventually, the feud died out after one of the Lost MC members sacrificed himself to end the 'blood-for-blood' war. Their leader, Dragon and Jack Jackson were able to call a cease-fire and return them to neutral terms.

Business & Other Means of Money

Seeing the unclaimed potential of the new Chop Shop in Hayes Auto, Jack Jackson decided to take control of it with the help of James O'Reilley and Tobius Huxley. The shop became a popular place for criminals to rob others and because of this Jack promised protection and assurance that they wouldn't be robbed. In addition, a car is left unlocked for the people who have finished chopping their cars. All of this is for $3000 a week. Later down the road, Jack Jackson stepped back from the Chop Shop but still remained in control of it and placed Jessie Slater as a manager who runs the shop on behalf of Jack Jackson. The shop is ran with the combined efforts of Jessie Slater, Mav Doretto and Archie Cooper.

In June of 2018, cocaine was introduced to the gangs of San Andreas. Bricks of cocaine are distributed to established criminal organizations through The Grove Street Family, which manufactured from Alexis Freeman & Harry Brown. The cocaine can be sold as a powder or, with the use of chemicals, turned into crack cocaine at the many cook labs around the city.

New Era & Change

Boris leaving Grove, the death of Dequan and Omar in hiding. This meant Jack was now the only OG left and the Leader of Grove. This only left Jack, Willie Brown & Tyrone Jenkinns but Willie's visa was expiring soon. So this meant Jack had to start rebuilding, he began by merging The East Side Dragons with the families substantially increasing membership.

The RICO Raid

On the very late night of November 8, 2018, the SASP SWAT - using an info packet delivered by a close friend of recently deceased Grove recruit Alex Casey - conducted a mass raid on Grove Street as well as any and all of their connected businesses and stash houses. With well over half a million dollars worth of illegal weapons and drugs seized, the members of Grove fled North away from the city in order to learn more about the case and make their next plans. Currently residing in a small nudist colony in the mountains and unsure of who left in the city they can trust, the fate of Grove Street appears grim. As of December 4, 2018 all charges involving the RICO Raid have been dismissed.
