Reluctant Gangsters - London Borough of Hillingdon

The Beaumont Gang (Severity Score 198)
The Beaumont Gang has been in existence for many years. Unlike
the newer gangs, membership is drawn from across the borough
and beyond. The gang consists of around 30-40 people and is
controlled by one of the four Waltham Forest crime families. The
Elders, drawn from the S**** family and their associates are aged
21-28. They dominate the drugs business in Waltham Forest and
have links into several of London’s most dangerous gangs/crews,
most notably in Hackney, Tottenham, Haringey and Harlesden. They
are involved in a wide range of serious crimes. The Youngers, aged
12-18 are also drawn from the S***** family and their associates.
They are prolific violent street robbers. The Beaumont Gang has
been described as the ‘ruling street force’ in Waltham
Forest (KI.07,13,21,24). The Beaumont Youngers are in conflict
with the Oliver Close Youngers (aged 10-22) and are in an alliance
with Priory Court. Members of the Beaumont Gang were recently
involved in a battle in Court with the Oliver Close Gang in which
armed ‘reinforcements’ were called up from the Beaumont estate. It
is said that the Beaumont Gang is responsible for several recent
‘hits’ but this has not been proven.
Piff City (Severity Score 198)
Piff City comprises the Chingford Hall Gang, the Oliver Close Gang,
the Chatham Close Gang, the Cathall Gang and the Langthorne
Gang and has around 100 members. Ultimate control of Piff City is
in the hands of families of adult gangsters (aged 26-40). Piff City is
named after a real person, but whoever assumes control becomes
known as ‘Piff’. Oliver Close has no Elders at present because they
are all in jail. The Oliver Close Youngers are aged 10-22. The Elders
in the Cathall Gang are particularly prolific criminals and are
responsible for all of the offences listed (KI.07,13,21,24). The
Langthorne and Chingford Hall Elders are aged 24-40 and the
Youngers 14-18. Piff City is in conflict with the Beaumont Gang.
Priory Court (Severity Score 169)
The Priory Court Gang is said to have been in existence for only
three years and is composed of 20-30 young people in two factions.
The Youngers, GMD (Get Money Daily) and the Elders. Priory Court
has family links with Cathall via the M******* family. It is allied
with, and has family links into, the Beaumont Gang and is in conflict
with the Oliver Close Gang. It is said that the Priory Court Gang will
‘do anything’ (KI.02,03,04,07,13,21,24).
The Red African Devils (Severity Score 150, estd.)
There is some dispute about the existence of a gang call the ‘Red
African Devils’ but there appear to have been groups of young
Somalis, many of them originally unaccompanied asylum seekers,
involved in violent street crime across the capital in the past few
