Tommy Pitt ran the infamous Pitt Bull Crew with an iron fist, but his reign of terror came to end after one of his own gang members turned police informant
Tommy Pitt, feared leader of the infamous Pitt Bull Crew, stands in the middle of a pitch black Crowcroft Park in Levenshulme. He loads a single bullet into a Smith & Wesson revolver.
Doddington had made fortunes selling drugs in the city - and Tommy, described by a judge as an 'infinitely cruel' man who was 'obsessed with his own power and importance', wanted to pick up where his brother had left off. Soon the money was rolling in - and that caught the attention of rival gang the Longsight Crew. They tried muscling in on the action by putting dealers on Pitt's turf, so he declared war.On September 3, 2000, rival Longsight Crew member Devon Bell, 22, was shot dead on Langport Avenue, Moss Side. A week later a shoot-out took place between the two gangs, although no-one was injured.
Greenidge was armed, but didn't have time to reach the loaded pistol in his pocket. He died in a hail of machine gun fire. Pitt later boasted: 'I've just whacked one of the Longsight crew boys. I struck with five bullets out of seven.' The youngster forgot and on September 15, police had raided the flat and found the gun with Pitt's DNA on it - crucial evidence which would later lead to his downfall. Three days later Pitt Bull members broke into the flat and found the search warrant.
