Gang allegedly enlisted teen in daycare murder plot

A teen rugby hopeful's chances of playing professionally are in tatters after allegedly being enlisted into a gang that sought to murder a man outside a daycare centre.

Ata Junior Misi is facing gang-related charges, after he allegedly worked for a Sydney group known as The Final Crime Family by moving four stolen cars ahead of an attempted murder plot in October.

In a conversation recorded by police, the 19-year-old said he initially thought the plan was to kidnap the victim.

"When he walks out the house, just bang, take him," he is quoted as saying in the recording.

"Oh swear, oh f*** I thought it was just a kidnap.

"So is he getting killed?"

In the recording, which only picked up Misi's side of the conversation, the landscaper could be heard talking about getting a tattoo for the gang and the possibility he could be asked to commit murder.

"Yeah I think it is me lad, coz I'm the f***ing newest," the now 19-year-old allegedly said.

This conversation was revealed in court documents seen by AAP after Misi made a bail bid in the NSW Supreme Court in late February.

Misi had moved to Sydney from Griffith in the state's Riverina region when he allegedly became embroiled with The Final Crime Family.

He was known by the Samoan NSW Rugby League and hoped to move to Sydney to join the NSW Rugby Union pathways program, the court previously heard.

In late September, Misi allegedly helped relocate four "hotties" - a stolen blue Subaru Outback, beige Jeep Wrangler, grey Nissan Navara and blue Mitsubishi Outlander - positioning them to be used in the lethal plan.

In Misi's bail hearing, Justice Robertson Wright noted these discussions suggested criminal connections of a troubling kind.

"It is not unknown for criminal groups to actually employ these young men quite often with sporting connections because they do have an ability and strength of training," he said.

The court documents claim police found a "kidnap kit" stashed in the Nissan Navara containing a sledgehammer, two baseball bats, duct tape, a pillow case, a torch and zip ties.

Three days before the alleged daycare plot, Misi's girlfriend allegedly told him her brother was in prison for setting up cars for murders.

"Sounds familiar," the 19-year-old allegedly said.

Police say the plot was foiled on October 7 when they swooped in and arrested three other men on their way to the daycare centre, charging them with conspiracy to murder.

One of them was allegedly wearing a GoPro video camera at the time.

Officers located a Glock-style pistol with a pink slide and a cardboard sign with "T.F.C.F The Final Crime Family" written on it within the vehicles.

On an encrypted chat on a smartphone found within one of the cars, eight participants openly chatted about the intended murder, police claim.

"We wannr (sic) hit the dog out front of the day care," one message read.

"Shoot point blank at him," another said.

Someone said the cardboard sign should be placed on top of the individual's body.

Two vehicles owned by the intended target were allegedly fitted with GPS tracking devices monitored by the criminal group, police claim.

Misi and another man were arrested on October 9 at Oran Park in Sydney's west.

Misi has not yet pleaded to a variety of charges, including dealing with property intending it to be an instrument of crime, dealing with proceeds of crime, conspiracy to kidnap and participating in a criminal gang.

In late February, Justice Robertson adjourned the bail hearing, saying the proposed conditions did not properly mitigate any risks Misi posed to the community.

The judge still could grant bail at a future hearing and has asked for evidence the 19-year-old would be fully supervised if allowed to live with his family in Griffith.

The matter will return to court on Friday.
