A new street gang allegedly helping high-profile gangs in their ongoing underworld feud has surfaced in Sydney.
Police allege the group, dubbed G7, is responsible for a string of home invasions, vehicle thefts and aggravated break-ins across the city.
Members allegedly staged 17 vehicles to be used as part of the broader gangland wars.
G7 was first uncovered when financial crimes squad detectives began investigating the suspected supply of vehicles to those high-profile gangs in January. (NSW Police)
G7 was first uncovered when financial crimes squad detectives began investigating the suspected supply of vehicles to those high-profile gangs in January.
The investigation was then escalated under the taskforce banner.
This week, detectives arrested four men aged between 18 and 21 for their alleged involvement in the G7.
An 18-year-old man was arrested at a correctional centre on the Mid North Coast on Monday afternoon and charged with seven offences, including participating in a criminal group contributing to criminal activity, learner not accompanied by driver/police officer/tester and possessing an unauthorised firearm.
He was refused bail to face Campbelltown Local Court on August 27.
