Residents have been warned to stay home at night and not to wear headphones in Sydney's western suburbs after a string of robberies.
There have been almost 30 men under 25 charged with 77 robberies in Fairfield and surrounding suburbs this year.
Police have formed a strike force to deal with the crime wave, and say a majority of the young criminals are linked to a gang of Pacific Islanders from Bossley Park.
Fairfield Police Area Command Superintendent Peter Lennon has warned residents to avoid unlit areas at night and urged parents to enforce a 9pm curfew for their kids.
