Sword Boys is a street gang in Perth, consisting mostly of Lebanese Australians, that has been known to authorities since mid-1990s. Gang members have been reported to wear a miniature gold scimitar on a chain around their necks.
Sword Boys has been responsible for a small amount of poor-quality amphetamine and ecstasy distribution in Western Australia, and has also been linked to car rebirthing by Western Sydney gangs, where stolen cars are stripped and reassembled. Also, they are suspected of fixing a professional boxing fight, between Danny Green and Paul Briggs.
