The Mandem

The Mandem (MDM) is a predominantly British gang that currently operates in Los Santos. They engage in criminal activities such as car boosting, street racing, kidnapping, drug trafficking, gang wars, robbery, weapons manufacturing, weapons trafficking and murder. MDM members also maintain legal lifestyles and operate many business ventures across Los Santos, ranging from the music industry to entertainment and even gold panning.

The Mandem currently has a total of 15 active members: 13 Full Members and 2 MDMA.

General Information
The Mandem are all very close and see each other as family. They are willing to go to great lengths for each other. For example, when Tommy, Stacey and Moses held up and shot a cop in order to save Dwayne from going to prison in the gang's earlier days. The gang started from humble beginnings but has since strengthened their reputation as a well-known and increasingly more respectable gang in Los Santos.

The Mandem do not officially have a gang colour but often wear their custom Mandem vests and their custom chain which features a British flag. When they first formed, they would often wear puffer jackets, but over time, they stopped wearing them as much, and started to wear 'Strapz' bullet proof vests, which led to them getting custom Mandem vests made.

History
When The Mandem was first formed in May 2021 as just a group of friends, they did not have a leader and did not seem to consider adding new members. However, as they started to participate in frequent criminal activity and progressed as a gang, they began recruiting more members.

To expand their operations in the weed and meth game and have more of a presence in earlier hours, they started a street team called the Roadmen (RDM). While at first working primarily with Eli and Patar, RDM grew closer to a lot of MDM members. Mandem's leadership later decided against having a street team, feeling the need to improve their own gang in many respects. They dissolved the Roadmen and gave them all the opportunity to become MDMA with the prospect of rising to full Mandem member if they proved themselves. Many previous Roadmen members have shown to be very skilled in areas the Mandem needed improving, and were instrumental in wars against Marabunta Grande and Royal Mafia.
