The Lynx Gang (sometimes known as The Lynx Crew) was a Birmingham-based gang originally of British Pakistani members that was founded in the 1970s, initially to protect the British Pakistani community (most notably of Mirpuri), from White power skinheads.[1]

The gang was founded in the Sparkhill area of the city. Moazzem Begg is a former member of the unofficial junior version of the gang.[2]
