Gang Postcode(s) Notes and references
21 District 2161 (Guildford) 21 District is a drill rap group and postcode gang that has a major rivalry with Onefour, both the drill group Onefour and the gang NF14. The gang is an alliance of the three subgangs: the IWB, the KVT and Proper 60. The alliance was formed due to a mutual rivalry with Onefour.[82]

Cabra Boys 2166 (Cabramatta) The Cabra Boys' main rivals are the Claymore Boys. When Alex Ioane, an innocent 18-year-old Sydneysider, was wrongly accused as being part of the Claymore Boys, the Cabra Boys bashed him to death as a result.[82] This led to several members of both groups being arrested and charged with murder.[83]

The gang has been linked to many crimes across Sydney, many of which have been fatal.[84][85][86][87] It is reported that the controversial all-Pasifika drill group Onefour, also from Mount Druitt, is named after the gang.[88] It has been reported that more than 10 young men have been stabbed to death by members of the group in 2021, 2022 and 2023 alone.[89][90]
Proper 60 2160 (Merrylands) Proper 60 is known to have links with drill rapper Ali Younes, better known by his stage name Ay Huncho. The gang also reportedly has links to R4W (Ready 4 War), the drug-dealing arm of the Alameddine crime clan.[82]
