It was from a rundown council estate in east London that the Hellbanianz made their name.

The notorious Albanian cartel, who flaunt their lavish lifestyle filled with fancy cars, diamond-encrusted Rolexes and half-naked girls in music videos, are feared across the streets of London.

From the high rise towers of the Gascoigne Estate in Barking, the Hellbanianz terrorised residents as they peddled cocaine across the capital and recruited young Albanians to join their gang.

And while other gangs may attempt to keep a low profile, the brazen group deliberately share images of themselves brandishing weapons and posing with large wads of cash across social media, and have engaged in open warfare on London's streets.

A few years ago they went as far as driving military vehicles fitted with heavy machine guns through the Gascoigne Estate for a rap video entitled Poppin Smoke.
