Three men were charged by the police today for their alleged involvement in a "freelance gang" that was hired to carry out violent crimes in southwest Sydney. This included shootings, home invasions, and kidnappings. According to reports, the gang operated by accepting tasks from criminal networks and carrying them out in exchange for payment.
The arrests were made after a series of raids on homes in the early hours of yesterday morning. The police found and seized drugs, electronic devices, weapons, cash, and items believed to be stolen during a previous home invasion and kidnapping. The arrested individuals include two 20-year-old men from Fairfield West and Mt Druitt, and an 18-year-old man from Lakemba.
These arrests were the result of a special task force, Strike Force Currambene, set up by the NSW Police to investigate organized criminal activities in the area. These activities included shootings, home invasions, kidnappings, and drug supply, all allegedly carried out by a group hired by criminal networks.
The three men have been charged with various offences, such as possessing dangerous weapons, kidnapping, drug possession, break and enter, and participating in a criminal group. According to Detective Superintendent Jason Box, the Fairfield West man was believed to be the leader of the gang and would receive tasks from the organized crime networks.
Superintendent Box also stated that the police will continue to investigate these criminal groups and hold them accountable for their actions. In his words, "The dismantling of this group is a major blow to organized crime in this state and a relief for the people of south west Sydney. No one should think they can commit these serious offences, such as shooting and kidnapping, and escape the consequences."
The three men were refused bail and were scheduled to appear before court yesterday. The investigation by the detectives is still ongoing.
