Gangs

Bloods and Crips particularly Rollin’ 20’s Blood and Rollin’ 30’s Crip gangs were introduced to Belize by US deportees in the 1980s, and especially adopted by locals upon the 1988 release of Colors.[1] A boom in violent and organised crime followed, not yet mitigated by the 2020s.[n 2] As of 2019, there were at least three dozen gangs in Belize City, each loosely affiliated to Bloods or Crips, totalling some 900 to 1,400 members. The largest gang in Belize City as of 2025 is the Peace In the Village Bloods (P.I.V.) followed by the George Street Bloods (G.S.G.)[n 3]

Other entities

Guatemalan and Mexican groups work with Belizean gangs to receive, store, and move illicit drugs and precursor chemicals.[23] Furthermore, Belizean gangs seemingly provide logistical help in return for illicit drugs and arms.[24]
