Coconut Cartel Leaders on the Run – What We Know So Far

#gridsparta #bikies New South Wales Police’s Raptor Squad has launched a major crackdown under Strike Force Halesowen after a wave of shootings, arson, and firebombings swept through Sydney’s west and southwest. The violence stems from a split in the long-standing Alameddine crime network, with a breakaway faction known as the Coconut Cartel, reportedly led and coordinated from overseas by Iziah Utai, Lorenzo Lemalu, and Anthony Pele. The feud has drawn in younger street-level gangs like KVT and G7, escalating into a cycle of revenge attacks targeting the Utai family and associated territories. Police have arrested multiple teens and young men over shootings and arson, seized drugs, weapons, and vehicles, and warn that offshore figures orchestrating the violence remain under investigation. With more than 100 officers deployed, the ongoing effort aims to dismantle the networks, prevent further attacks, and pursue those allegedly directing the violence from abroad, while residents remain on edge amid fears of more retaliation.
