Frank's Treasure Trove - 18 February 2026

In this explosive update, Mark Morri, Crime Editor of the Daily Telegraph, joins the show to map out the latest - and perhaps most dangerous - escalation in Sydney’s gangland wars. We dive into the rise of the Coconut Cartel, a group of former associates who have turned their backs on the powerful Alameddine crime family, sparking a wave of shootings, firebombings, and kidnappings across Western Sydney.

The most disturbing part? The "mules." Morri reveals a terrifying trend of "shopping lists" on the dark web, where teenagers are contracted to burn cars for $6,000 or commit drive-bys for a quick payout. With the shooting of NRL legend Matt Utai’s family and cases of mistaken identity on the rise, we ask: have these gangs become so stupid and cowardly that no one is safe? If you want to understand the shifting allegiances and the "whiteboard" of crime currently being tracked by investigators, this is a conversation you cannot miss.
