The Gangland War (2008)
The Gangland War
“ THE kilometre-square block in the middle of South Yarra is one of the busiest in Melbourne. Traffic there regularly slows to a crawl. No-one would have noticed the late-model sedan that cruised the choked streets for days.
No-one, that is, except the police surveillance experts assigned to help Victoria’s gangland taskforce, codenamed Purana.
Police were tracking two of the suspects in some of Melbourne’s unsolved underworld murders. Both were known to police. Neither can be named but they we...re, at the time, loyal members of Carl Williams’ rat pack. Much later they would rat on him. They were The Runner and The Driver and this would be their latest (and last) hit for the supermarket shelf stacker turned crime boss.
They drove around the block bounded by Chapel Street and Malvern, Toorak and Williams Roads, past the upmarket boutiques that thrive near the 1960s housing commission flats. They cruised by the 24-hour Prahran police complex in Malvern Road then turned left into Williams Road and past The Bush Inn Hotel, a favourite with local police.MoreLess
