Los Santos Vagos XIV

The Norteños are the various, loosely affiliated street gangs that pay tribute to the Nuestra Familia. The gang's membership primarily consists of Mexican Americans, but has members of other Latino American groups (in most cases Salvadorians) and some African American and very few Caucasian members.

Norteños use the number 14 which represents the fourteenth letter of the English alphabet, the letter N, in order to pay allegiance to Nuestra Familia. It is sometimes written in Roman numerals as XIV, or a hybrid of Roman and Arabic numerals, X4. Norteño emblems and clothing are based on the color red, and sometimes black. A typical Norteño outfit is being "flamed up" including a red belt, red shoes, and red shoelaces. They will also favor sports team apparel that shows their affiliation through symbolism such as the Nebraska Cornhuskers, UNLV Rebels and San Francisco 49ers. Some Norteños will tattoo themselves with four dots. A Norteño derogatorily refers to a Sureño as a "scrap" (Hispanicized scrapa) or "Sur rat" (sewer rat). Norteños also lay claim to images of the Mexican-American labor movement, such as the sombrero, machete, and the logo of the United Farm Workers which is a stylized black Aztec eagle ("Huelga bird").

Los Santos Vagos, often referred to as Northside Vagos, LSV, Northerners or simply Vagos, is a Norteno gang set located in the north-east side of Los Santos. As in Norteno tradition, their membership consists of primarily Mexican-Americans and other Hispanic groups.

LSV members have been reported to have been involved in multiple cases of drug trafficking, armed robbery and murder. They prefer the represent their set with the colours yellow and black while the use of the colour red has been limited, as opposed to traditional Norteno sets.

 The historicity of the Vagos, when the gang was formed, and historical events about the gang is shrouded in mystery, though it is probable that the creation of the gang began along with most other larger Los Santos gangs during the 70s and 80s.

The Los Santos Vagos are considered an extremely dangerous gang and a threat to the civilians in the entirety of the city by the FBI. Several police operations have aimed at the suppression of the gang in the past but most have ended in complete or partial failure. The number of members in the gang remains unknown but is estimated to be at an all time low.
