Gang activity

Shallcross experienced intermittent gang violence from 2019 to 2021.[2] In January 2021 Yaganathan “Teddy Bear Mafia” Pillay became the 8th victim in an ongoing turf war over drug distribution and sales.[3] A relative of Pillay alleged that the police had failed to arrest any of the killers, and may have been bribed.[4] In one of several drive-by shootings following these murders, a 52 year old man died on 8 March in Taurus street.[5]
