Cops keep pressure on high-profile members of Sydney’s criminal underbelly to keep the peace

A Sydney crime figure has been evicted from his multimillion-dollar property just days after a high-visibility police operation. LISTEN to our bonus episode of the Crim City podcast on The War 2: Kill or Be Killed.

Sydney crime figure Omar Haouchar has been evicted just days after police carried out a high-visibility operation at the multimillion-dollar waterfront property in Drummoyne where he and his associates were living.

Neighbours had complained they were being intimidated by heavily-tattooed men who appeared to be guarding the townhouse complex in the exclusive St Georges Crescent where Haouchar and other known criminals lived.

A convoy of nearly 100 police, including Raptor officers, Dog squad, Polair and water police swarmed on the address last week where Haouchar was served with a firearm compliance order and police later seized $30,000 cash.

No charges have been laid.

On Tuesday, police were told Haouchar’s landlord had asked him to vacate the property as they continued to harass the top end of Sydney’s underworld, carrying out a Firearm prohibition compliance check on Mohamad Alameddine in a Sydney CBD apartment.

Alameddine is a well known associate of the Comanchero bikie gang and is subject to some of the strictest Serious Crime prevention Orders imposed restricting where he can go, how much cash he can have on him as well as what parts of the city he can and can’t go to.

While Mohamad Alameddine shares the same name, he is not directly related to the infamous crime family but is a known ally of them.

Around 1pm police seized a number of items from the apartment but have not charged the 39-year-old.

The visits to Haouchar and Alameddine are part of ongoing strategy by NSW State Crime Command to disrupt any possible criminal behaviour before it occurs.

There have been rumours of a feud between the two families, over the alleged murder of Comanchero boss Alen Moradian at Bondi Junction last year.

In the past six months, police have stopped multiple alleged murder plots, including one to be carried out in the heart of the CBD.

Sources confirmed Haouchar will have to move after the publicity surrounding last week’s operation.

“Guys were wandering around the street like personal bodyguards and they were scaring the hell out of the law-abiding residents in the area.

“They were worried they had weapons, and we believe they probably did have guns in the close proximity, most likely in stashed cars,” the senior officer said. “We won’t accept that behaviour so it’s good to see a consequence for that, and if wherever he goes he continues to have his goon outside we will do the same thing,” the officer said.
