The Postcode Wars: Street gangs, drugs and organised crime | Four Corners

A brutal conflict is playing out on the streets of Sydney, and the battle lines are drawn between postcodes. Teens from across the western suburbs are being drawn into its violence, sometimes with deadly consequences. Four Corners and Background Briefing go inside a powerful and dangerous criminal hierarchy, revealing how it stretches from the kids in the postcode gangs, into the lyrics of drill, and all the way up to some of Australia’s most notorious crime families. _____________________ EDITOR'S NOTE: August 17, 2026: This program has been edited to remove a segment contributed by Mahmood Fazal in which he says he visits a drug ‘trap house’.
