The name carries various different meanings, such as Guns And Shanks, Gangsters Always Shoot, Grip And Shoot, and Grind And Stack. By 2012, they were considered one of the most dangerous gangs in South London, with at least 3 murders being committed by alleged gang members since 2010. The local council and police in 2012 believed the gang was responsible for three quarters of violent incidents involving young people in Brixton, with up to eight suspect members of the gang going to jail for attempted murder or murder. Barfah Joof, a founder and former member of the gang, claimed they originally had over 100 members when they first formed. GAS Gang was reported to have around 50 members in 2012. In 2015, a local police officer estimated they once had hundreds of members, but declined in the early 2010s due to leaders of the gang going to jail. In 2012, the oldest known member was 18-years old. GAS had affiliations with some local gangs such as Murder Zone (MZ), Organised Crime (OC), Original Brooklyn Youths (OBY) / Brooklyn Family Riders (BFR), and Roadside G's. The gang was known for its violent conflicts with neighbouring gangs, and had rivalries with ABM (All Bout Money) based in Stockwell, Tulse Hill Gang (also known as TN1, or Trust No-One) based in Tulse Hill, PYG (Peckham Young Guns) and GMG based in Peckham. GAS also had conflict with Croydon-based gang DSN (Don't Say Nuttin). (en) |
