Kang crime family(BIBO gang)

The Brothers Keepers is an organized crime group based in British Columbia, Canada that is engaged in organized crime across Canada and abroad. Originating in the Greater Vancouver area, the gang has expanded across Canada since its founding, and has established relationships with other transnational organized crime groups.

The Brothers Keepers gang is believed by police in British Columbia to be among the most "prominent and violent" gangs in Western Canada, investigations also highlighted the gang's strategy to expand into new markets within the country and abroad, utilizing tactics such as reduced drug prices for street-level traffickers they supply, branded products (such as purple fentanyl), and increased potency of drugs they supply.
