Gang activity
Shallcross experienced intermittent gang violence from 2019 to 2021.[2] In January 2021 Yaganathan “Teddy Mafia” Pillay became the 8th victim in an ongoing turf war over drug distribution and sales.[3] Pillay's two attackers were then murdered on the scene by local residents. A relative of Pillay alleged that the police had failed to arrest any of the killers, and may have been bribed.[4]
