The MySpace pages, including profiles of "Gotti" and "Buddha," showed members flashing gang signs. One of the pages even included a newspaper article about a 2005 police investigation into the "M-Set" Crips."They were using the site to brag about their gang affiliations," said a law enforcement source.Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the investigation, dubbed "Grant Denied," began six months ago.NYPD and District Attorney detectives seized 190 grams of crack, 60 grams of cocaine and 51 glassines of heroin, said Lt. Keith Laughran of the Bronx gang squad. The drugs had a street value of about $20,000, a source said.
