Buena Vista Police arrested a 19 yo. man Tuesday night after a week long investigation into a recent YouTube.com video posting showing several BV gang members flashing gang-signs and revealing concealed illegal weapons.

The home-made videos were posted in mid-November and show several members of the gang, "BV BOYZ," declaring their turf at a local convenience store and at the corner of Baldwin and 23rd.

Buena Vista Police organized a task force after viewing the videos. Since then, police have raided atleast three homes. Detectives arrested the 19 yo. man in Buena Vista after locating a "Mac 10" semi-automatic pistol... the same weapon seen in the video. Two other weapons were also seized.

The 19 yo. is currently being held in the Saginaw County Jail awaiting felony weapon charges.
