Gang activity

Shallcross experienced intermittent gang violence from 2019 to 2021. In January 2021 Yaganathan “Teddy Bear Mafia” Pillay became the 8th victim in an ongoing turf war over drug distribution and sales. A relative of Pillay alleged that the police had failed to arrest any of the killers, and may have been bribed. In one of several drive-by shootings following these murders, a 52 year old man died on 8 March in Taurus street.
