{{cleanup rewrite|date=July 2016}}{{Use Australian English|date=February 2015}}{{Use dmy dates|date=February 2011}}Sword Boys is a street gang in Perth, consisting mostly of Lebanese Australians,[1][2] that has been known to authorities since mid-1990s.[3][4] Gang members have been reported to wear a miniature gold scimitar on a chain around their necks.[5][6]

Sword Boys has been responsible for amphetamine and ecstasy distribution in Western Australia,[7] and has also been linked to car rebirthing by Western Sydney gangs, where stolen cars are stripped and reassembled.[2] Also, they are suspected of fixing a professional boxing fight, between Danny Green and Paul Briggs. A high ranking member of the Sword Boys, Riz Yacoub, was initially involved in the street level crimes and drug distribution until being sentenced in 2009 for 6 years sell/supply methamphetamine charges.

2014 arrests

In 2014 brothers Ziad Jneid and Rabih Jneid were arrested and charged as part of a drug syndicate co-ordinating the distribution of drugs (4 kg of crystal methylamphetamine) across the Perth metro area. Ziad and Rabih Jneid were charged with Conspiracy to Sell or Supply a Prohibited Drug. Two other men also charged with Supplying a Prohibited Drug.[8][9] Ziad Jneid has repeatedly denied any role in a Lebanese crime gang operating in Perth called the Sword Boys.[10]
