RUTHLESS Somali gangsters are flooding Scotland’s streets with deadly crack cocaine.

Today we expose an outfit from the war-torm African nation who call themselves the G-Star gang.

The violent mob - armed with bayonets - peddle misery to hopeless addicts desperate for a fix.

The immigrant thugs arrived in Scotland via London around two years ago and quickly built their £1million-a-year drug empire.

They avoid being detected by police by frequently changing hire cars and buying bangers at motor auctions.

Posing as an addict, we purchased two rocks of the Class-A drug from gang member Mo “Mo Mo” Mohammed.

We met him in Glasgow’s Gorbals area after arranging a deal on the phone.

He arrived in a black Vauxhall Insignia car with three henchmen.

Mohammed - nicknamed Momo - told our man to stand in the entrance of a pub.

The dealer - who walks with a heavy limp - then got out the vehicle and met him in the doorway of the building where he handed over two rocks.

Mohammed then took £40 we handed to him. The deal took less than two minutes.

Referring to the drugs, he said: “It’s a new delivery. If you need more just give us a phone and someone will come to you.”

He was then picked up by his cronies and got in the back of their car.

We also bought crack from a gang member called AJ.

The bearded dealer arrived to meet our man in a 10-year-old silver Kia Cerato which was bought at the Scottish Motor Auction in Livingston, West Lothian in June.

Our man met AJ outside a cash and carry in Glasgow’s Tradeston area. He told our man to get inside his car and passed him one rock for £40.

One source said the gang called themselves G-Star after a popular brand of designer clothing.

He added that the gang so driven by their greed for cash that they deliver all over the city 24 hours per day. He said many of them conceal sharpened bayonets under their clothing incase they’re robbed by rivals.

The ex-addict said: “I must have given them £20,000 last year.

“I gave them virtually every penny I had - all my benefit money and anything else I could lay my hands on.

“But they’ve got so many addicts buying from them, you can multiply what they got from me by at least 50. I know six addicts get from them every day.

“It doesn’t matter what time you call their phone, someone will always answer it.

“None of them use the drug - they’re only interested in selling the stuff and do it in shifts.

“They’re always armed in case they get any trouble, I’ve seen them flash long bayonets.”

Violent Somali gangsters have been battling for control of the lucrative drugs trade in every major city in the United Kingdom.

They specialise in selling highly-addictive crack cocaine - a freebase form of cocaine which is smoked by users.

It’s usually at least 75 per cent pure. Regular cocaine seized by police has been as low as eight per cent when tested for purity.

The gang exposed today are only one of a number of ­African crime gangs in Scotland.

Earlier this year, three Somali drug dealers were jailed for a machine gun killing of a rival in Edinburgh.

Mohamud ­Mohamud, 30, Cadil Huseen, 23, and Hussein Ali, 26, were jailed for a minimum of 25 years each for ­murdering Mohammed Abdi, 25. All four had been part of a Somali drug syndicate.

Police ­Scotland’s deputy chief constable Iain Livingstone last week revealed that almost one in 10 incidents involved immigrants.

He said the force’s dealings with people born outside Scotland had doubled to nine per cent.
