Court gives accused members from infamous ‘Ready 4 War’ gang BAIL

Three alleged members of the Ready 4 War gang – an offshoot of the notorious Alameddine crime network – have been released back onto the streets within hours of being arrested in sweeping dawn raids.

Eighteen men – all believed to be low and mid-level associates of the Alameddine clan – were arrested on Tuesday morning after a 450-strong team of police officers raided 29 properties across Sydney’s south-west. 

The blitz followed a 10-month-long investigation into the organised crime group, with NSW Police commissioner Karen Webb declaring the force had completely dismantled the syndicate and ‘cut the head off the snake’. 

Meanwhile, NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Police Paul Toole claimed police had ‘closed the net’ on one of Sydney’s most ‘dangerous crime families’.
