One of Australia’s most violent Middle-Eastern crime gangs is attempting to muscle its way into WA, sparking concerns about a possible turf war with the State’s 11 bikie clubs.

Members of the Brothers 4 Life street gang made headlines around the country in 2013 when two of its Sydney-based leaders went to war with each other, resulting in a series of deadly shoot outs which saw their own mothers become targets for attacks.

The violence also resulted in a 13-year-old girl being shot in the back before police were finally able to bring the gang to heel.

Pictures obtained by the The Weekend West show that B4L has already recruited about 12 WA members - many of them young Aboriginal men from the Rockingham area.

Some proudly display the gang’s insignia and their B4L tattoos on their social media sites, but provide no other details about why it has moved to Perth.

However, police are investigating whether notorious senior Queensland B4L member and recent Muslim convert Brett “Kaos” Pechey played a role in bringing the gang West.

Pechey is married to a former WA woman and rival gangs claim to have seen the heavily tattooed former Bandidos bikie boss in Perth in recent weeks, but he has not been photographed with any of the new WA members.

Pechey was dubbed Queensland's most wanted man after he fled to Thailand in 2013 to escape prosecution over a violent brawl in a Gold Coast shopping mall that led to the introduction in that State of Australia’s toughest anti-gang laws.

B4L's founder and spiritual leader is Golburn Supermax’s highest security inmate Bassam Hamzy, who started the gang in the mid 2000s while in jail serving life for murder.

Its members have been heavily involved in drug trafficking, extortion and violent offences in other States.

WA police are now monitoring the gang, but would not say yesterday how it planned to respond.

"WA Police has and continues to take action where necessary to target any criminal behaviour and prevent these groups from developing," the spokesman said.

B4L’s arrival in WA follows recent moves by the world’s biggest bikie gang, the Hells Angels, to beef up its presence in Perth.

The gang announced the formation of its first Perth chapter last year on its official international website and is now recruiting heavily.

WA introduced a suite of anti-gang laws almost five years ago to help curb their spread, but the legislation is yet to be used.

It is widely considered to be unnecessarily cumbersome and the Attorney General Michael Mischin revealed last year that he had asked police to draft amendments based on Queensland and New South Wales' anti-bikie laws.

No time frame has been given for their introduction.
