Crime

Within the United Kingdom, the dominant organized crime network is that of the Tongs of which the most powerful is the Silent Reeds Tong. In the city of London are the indigenous British crime families, known as the Firms. Other foreign crime syndicates and mobs involved in the rackets or whose smuggling networks extend into the United Kingdom include the Russian Vory, the Yakuza, the Ghost Cartels, the Afro-Caribbean Zobop, and the Indo-Asian crime families. Street gangs are a plague in both the London sprawl and Merseysprawl, especially the Yardies.
