A new State Crime Command strike force is probing a string of gangland threats following a high‑profile shooting.

Overview

  • Detectives charged Isaac Mar‑Tuvunivono, 24, after a Daceyville raid tied to the group, alleging offences including arson, unauthorised pistol possession and participation in a criminal group.
  • Officers seized a registration plate, a jerry can, a replica pistol and 13 mobile phones during the Daceyville search, with the items held as evidence.
  • Nadan Moore, 19, was arrested in Silverwater over alleged arson and participation in a criminal group, was refused bail and appeared at Bail Division Local Court on Thursday.
  • Police established Strike Force Helston to investigate threats and suspected arson linked to the syndicate, alongside the 100‑strong Strike Force Halesowen formed after former NRL player Matt Utai was shot.
  • Authorities say recent attacks include a Guildford vehicle fire claimed in underworld posts by the 'Coconut Cartel', while separate arrests under Halesowen include allegations that Eamon Sharp shot Utai and a 15‑year‑old drove the getaway car.
