A former 'second lieutenant' of the Croxteth Young Guns (CYG) street gang is back in jail a short time after his release from a sentence for terrorising the city.
The gang were responsible for a spate of shootings against rivals, particularly the notorious Norris Green based Strand Gang, and against associates they decided had betrayed them. The ultra-violent crew also used home-made petrol bombs fashioned from empty Lucozade bottles to torch the homes of perceived enemies.
The gang was dismantled in 2011, with a high-profile trial following in 2013. A man described as a "second lieutenant", Kyle Smith-Milson was handed an extended sentence of 12 years. But the thug, now 28 and of Drake Crescent in Fazakerley, is back in prison after being caught driving dangerously in a stolen car.
