Sword Boys
Sword Boys is a street gang in Perth, consisting mostly of Lebanese Australians,[1][2] that has been known to authorities since mid 1990s.[3][4] Gang members have been reported to wear a miniature gold scimitar on a chain around their necks.[5][6]
Sword Boys has been responsible for a small amount of poor quality amphetamine and ecstasy distribution in Western Australia,[7] and has also been linked to car rebirthing by Western Sydney gangs, where stolen cars are stripped and reassembled.[2] Also, they are suspected of fixing a professional boxing fight, between Danny Green and Paul Briggs.
2014 arrests
On 25 April 2014 detectives from the Organised Crime Squad raided six properties in Kewdale and Bibra Lake, uncovering more than $380,000 in cash, two firearms and steroids.
Police allege that Ziad Jneid and Rabih Jneid were the "masterminds" of a drug syndicate co-ordinating the importation and distribution of drugs (4kg of crystal methylamphetamine) across the Perth metro area. Ziad and Rabih Jneib were charged with conspiracy to sell or supply a prohibited drug. Two other men have also been charged with selling or supplying a prohibited drug.[8] [9] Ziad Jneid has repeatedly denied any role in a Lebanese crime gang operating in Perth called the Sword Boys.
