It was rumoured that the conflict from these 2 gangs was sparked in the summer of 1999 when two members of the Block 13 Crips were caught extorting drugs from a Teesdale Crew member, which resulted in a brutal assault at Kennedy station. Although the conflict is officially over, and both Block 13 and Teesdale Crew represent the Oakridge community (Known as Scarborough South West), interaction between the two groups is rare.
