KB

The most famous of Tasmania's gangs the KB gang was started by the infamous gang lords Zj(Zee) and Mike Z. The gang gets its name from Kingston Beach (hence K-B), a suburb of the Tasmanian city of hobart. The KB gang's territory extends from the out skirts of Tarrona and Mt Nelson right down through Kingston and extending unchecked towards the South. Centralised around the well known Kingston beach the KB have been locked in an age old rivalry with other Hobart gangs such as the West Side Warriors and the Tarrona Trenchcoats. Although law enforcement agencies have been trying to put the KB gang behind bars for most of this century it has been extremely hard for them to gather any clear evidence of wrong doings. The only thing they have been able to charge a KB memeber with is destruction of property and drink driving and both of these charges lie on Zj. The destruction of property charge was a public sharade with the charge being in relation to Zj pulling up a tree. Tasmania has been well known for its gang lords world wide with Australias most famous gang land figure, Chopper Reed, growing up not far from the KB area.
