| - In 2002, the two gangs were both involved in the Gang War of 2002. Despite them both being enemies with each other, out of all the other gangs involved, they actually clashed the least. The Yardies were mainly against the Triads and had their own Triads-Yardies War. Both the Yardies and Triads clashed the most compared to any of the other gangs involved. The Triads also disliked the Collins gang because they believed they had stolen a statue from them. It is never confirmed that the Yardies in fact attacked the Collins gang at all during the Gang War of 2002, although both gangs eventually did clash on board the Sol Vita. Prior to this event though, the gangs weren't true enemies, but nor were they allies. It is likely though that Jamahl and his Yardies initially believed that Mark Hammond was still apart of the Collins gang and would have blamed them for the deaths of their men in Shoreditch. However, it's never seen that the Yardies and Collins gang had any altercation at all, apart from on board the Sol Vita. After the Sol Vita explosion, the leader of the Collins gang, Nick Collins, died in the explosion, but the Yardies gang leader, Jamahl, escaped alive. The death of Nick brought an end to the gang for two years, meaning there were no clashes between both gangs.
