The Albanian Boys, also known as the Albanian Bad Boys[1] or Albanian Boys Inc. were a gang of Albanians who operated in central Bronx.[2] The gang was founded in the Bronx, New York in 1991.[3] Over the years of its existence, the gang has evolved from a youth ethnic street gang that defended its members from similar ethnic street gangs to subcontractors working for local organized crime, engaging in extortion, intimidation, protection money and debt collection.
