East Side Crew

[Tarion Smith]

About us - Intro

East Side Crew is a criminal organization which is specialized in spectacular bank heists, robberies, hijacks, and drug deals.  It was started by four people who met in Rio De Janeiro during the biggest successful bank heist of all time. They were known as “freelancers” who were only working for people who pay the most. After earning money, experience, and respect throughout the years of stressful and risky work, they decided to make their own crew as they are the very best in what they are doing. This crew was founded in Summer 2017, a few months after the great heist in Brazil.
One of the reasons why East Side Crew is so successful is that their style is unique and complicated to the police. The crew is not related to any mafia nor family, they strictly work for money and nothing other than that.  East Side Crew is offering “pick & deliver” services for people who do not want to be exposed on the streets – Crew is sent out on the field to pick up the target and deliver it to the contractor.
It’s the way they live it – risk, power, money, drugs, respect, and loyalty. It is hard to get in, but once you do, it’s all up to you whether you are going to become rich and powerful or leave the crew in a body bag.
East Side Crew got their name after the hood they took over – East Los Santos. They are situated in East Santos from where all their operations are planned. Illegal races take place there as well. They have their own mechanic area where all our vehicles are modified, repaired, fixed, and improved. Private carwash is also located in East Santos, and it is known that they keep their luxurious vehicles there. They keep their area closed and restricted for random visitors, so if you ever encounter them in their area, be aware that you can get shot unless you listen to what they tell you.
East Side Crew is an elite crew which is growing on daily basis. What’s most important is, East Side Crew’s growth is not associated with quantity, yet quality is important in the growth phase. Crew accepts only those who show their skills on the streets continuously – crew does not fall for “one-time shows”. East Side Crew is striving towards greatness which means that even smallest mistakes are not acceptable. Knowing that, East Side Crew is very strict when accepting new members to the crew.

Lincoln Hamilton

Lincoln Hamilton was born on 23rd of April, 1988. He was born in Serbia where he grew up and started making his first steps in illegal racing. During his racing career, he was standing out as he was the youngest racer to win the Balkan race which had 4000 racers from seven different countries. Not long after he won, he was contacted by a Russian guy to drive his cars and promote his name on the streets of Russia. Yes, he was paid to race on the streets and represent the famous Russian mobster. He literally drove everything – all the powerful beast vehicles. As time was passing, Lincoln decided to move on as races became too monotonous for him, and he decided to try out with the FF crew in Shanghai. The FF crew was focusing only on transporting and hijacks. He specialized in driving through traffic and crowded streets of Shanghai where most of his missions took place. One of the most famous transports he made was a 21 minute ride from point A to point B – a 100km distance. Sounds great, doesn’t it? Well, if you add that he was carrying 200 kilograms of C4 explosive in his car and driving over 270km/h most of the time, it makes it unbelievable.
When he quit working for FF crew, he moved to Brazil for vacation. He spent 21 peaceful days on the beaches of Rio De Janeiro before he met Tarion Smith and a guy known under the name “Ziad”. They met in a sky lounge in the mountains of Rio where they had a few drinks together and talked about the vehicles – just a general conversation about the vehicles, nothing more than that. Well, it was nothing more than that until the biggest contractor of all times who is known under the name “Zed” approached Tarion. All of them were shocked upon seeing the person who wasn’t seen by anyone for 25 years. He approached Tarion and offered him 150 million dollars to make the heist and recover his valuable documents from the bank. What made this heist special was the army which protected the bank along with the great security system. Soon after Zed left his business card and exited the property, Tarion looked up to Lincoln and asked him: “Do you know who this is?”, and Lincoln answered: “Of course I do!”. That was the moment Tarion and Ziad realized that they were talking to a guy who’s into the same type of business as they are. As Tarion accepted the offer from Zed, he was supposed to make a 6-8 man crew and pull that out. Instead, he decided to work with Lincoln, Ziad and a guy who was supposed to fly-in from Los Santos – a guy named Max Crawford. They prepared everything in only 20 days and pulled out the heist like it was the easiest thing to do. They rushed into the bank’s parking lot with four vehicles – a Turismo, Banshee, Infernus, and a DOZER. Yes, a fucking Dozer. They were equipped with M4 and heavy body armors, but no shots were fired as no one had time to react. They escaped straight to the airstrip 20 kilometers away from the bank where a cargo airplane was waiting, and they left only the Dozer behind. Less than 10 minutes after the heist, they were boarded on a cargo airplane with their vehicles. They flew directly to Los Santos where they were paid PERSONALLY by “Zed”.

Tarion Smith

Now, let’s look in to the background of Tarion Smith. He was born in 1982 in Croatia. He started off, just like everyone else from the crew, with street racing. He was the type of guy who would make the most extreme moves to win the race. He was never scared from anything, that’s why he was successful in the work he done so far. He moved to San Fierro where he worked with drugs mostly, drugs transport and dealing. He was famous for his camo Infernus in which he was not only transporting drugs but also having fun with the police. There is a video footage of him making “donuts” around the two PD cruisers, leaving cops in smoke and driving off. He is changing tires every day, which was a serious issue when he had financial problems. Nowadays, when he has around 35 million dollars, changing tires is the least expensive thing he does every day. During his early part of the career, he was working with contractors who were hiring him for one-time jobs. After he pulled off the amazing heist in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, he started talking with Lincoln, Ziad, and Max about making their on Crew. As they had money to invest, experience, skills, and balls, they decided to start their own crew. Tarion and Lincoln, as the known leaders of the crew, started planning everything, starting from the interior of their main property with the choice of cars.

Without Max and Ziad, this crew wouldn’t exist. They are the guys who lived in Los Santos and know every single corner of the city. They were born in 1980s (no certain year is known to the public) and they were jailed more than 10 times for illegal racing. However, in the records of Los Santos’ prisons, none of them served their jail sentences. They have good connections in the police, government, and even mafias. As money was their dragging force, they realized that the best way to earn is to focus on bank heists and one-time jobs. Ziad was the guy who was known as an experienced and talented individual, went on vacation with Tarion Smith who was his good friend in his teenage years. That’s the moment when they Ziad and Tarion met Lincoln. If Zed, the living legend of the streets, did not approach them all together at the same place, they would’ve never created the East Side Crew. Zed knew exactly when to approach Tarion because he heard a not only about Tarion but about Ziad and Lincoln Hamilton. Ziad immediately called Max Crawford to fly in and help them pull that out. The mutual understanding between them was the key factor for success. At every point of the action, they knew exactly every point of their role, making the heist perfect.
They landed at Los Santos and were supposed to spread up, just like every time they pull the bank heist and lay low for a few weeks. However, they decided to stick together and focus on creating the East Side Crew. That’s how it all started and how East Side Crew started existing. From that point, we don’t know anything about the crew and its operations as there are no connections to them, even though there are many unsolved robberies and kidnaps on the streets of Los Santos in the past few months.
