The Tiny Rascal Gang, (abbreviated TRG) is a primarily Cambodian-American gang based in Long Beach, California. During the 1990s, the Mexican Mafia "green light" hit lists began including the TRG, and Sureños were soon at war with them. The Mexican Mafia ordered the West Side Longo gang to put aside its rivalry with the East Side Longo and support their former rivals against the TRG.
The gang was founded in 1981 for protection by Cambodian youth groups who had escaped the Cambodian genocide. Gang members are as young as 12 years old. A group left the gang and became the Asian Boyz (ABZ). The TRG, the Eastside's first Cambodian gang, had an estimated membership of over 2,000 in 1999 and 5,000 to 10,000 "members and associates" in 2009.
