NSW Police visit Sydney home of Mohammed ‘Little Crazy’ Hamzy after his jail release

Heavily armed police have visited the Sydney home of Mohammed “Little Crazy” Hamzy just six days after his release from jail. It comes as rumours swirl about a $2 million contract on his life.

Heavily armed police have visited the home of Mohammed “Little Crazy” Hamzy just six days after his release from jail.

Little Crazy, now the most senior member of the Hamzy clan, sat in jail and watched five of his relatives gunned down during a gangland war with rival crime family the Alameddines.

Officers from the State Crime Command’s Raptor Squad executed a Firearm Prohibition compliance check on an address in southwest Sydney on Monday morning where the released killer is now living.

There is a rumoured $2 million contract on his life and also fears he may want to avenge his slain relatives.

The visit by police on Monday was part of a strategy which is to make sure his release does not reignite any more conflict between the two groups, or other crime gangs hostile towards him.

“We are letting him know we are around, and also anyone planning to make a move on him that we might not be far away,” said a senior police officer.

Police were at pains to keep the operation secret, not even revealing the suburb.

“Officers attached to State Crime Command’s Raptor Squad executed a Firearms Prohibition Order (FPO) compliance check at a home in Sydney’s southwest,” police said in a statement.

“No breaches of the prohibition order were detected during the search,” police said.

Hamzy’s older brother Khaled (right) was among the family outside Macquarie Correctional Centre to see “Little Crazy” walk free on parole.

Hamzy was released last week after serving eight years behind bars for the manslaughter of Yehya Amoud, who he believed had insulted his wife.

Police had been working on a release strategy for months to ensure it did not reignite the gang conflict that had seen five of Hamzy’s relatives gunned down since he last tasted freedom in 2015.

Prior to his prison term, Hamzy was a senior player in the family-run Brothers for Life (BFL) gang, which controlled crime in Sydney’s west and southwest in the early 2010s.

He developed his nickname “Little Crazy” by being hot-headed and having a penchant for violence.
