Sydney police are on high alert for possible retaliatory attacks following the execution of a senior gangland figure in Vietnam.
Coconut Cartel member Lorenzo Lemalu, 24, was shot dead outside a restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City.
He was reportedly a senior figure in the group after breaking ties with a gang linked to Sydney’s Alameddine crime network.
Police believe the ongoing dispute over the illegal drug trade has contributed to escalating violence across the city.
Authorities are now investigating whether the shooting in Vietnam is connected to the broader gang feud.
A second individual was also reportedly shot during the incident.
Images from the scene show men lying on the floor of a restaurant following the shooting.
Police in Tay Ninh have released photographs and names of two Australian men they are seeking to question in connection with the incident.
