The Yardies are a Jamaican gang, led by King Courtney. They are secretly in league with the Colombian Cartel and are known to push SPANK onto Staunton Island. The Yardies and the Diablos are fighting against each other, due to derogatory comments about Queen Lizzy. Yardie members are seen with dreadlocks and wear ex-army attire in GTA III, while renditions in GTA: LCS depict them in brightly colored tank tops, with or without a yellow T-shirt worn inside, jeans and brown boots.
In GTA: LCS it is revealed that Leone capo Toni Cipriani helped the Yardies take over their turf in Newport from the Forelli Family as a way to help corrupt cop Leon McAffrey repay an unknown favour to the Yardies that they did for him. The Sindaccos would later attack them as it was revealed they wanted Newport. Toni would then help them with the Sindaccos as they were short on defenders.
Their use of Jamaican English and modern street slang with their heavy Jamaican accents make them relatively difficult to understand on occasions without the use of the game's subtitles. The subtitles may also be needed if one has trouble understanding King Courtney's strong Jamaican accent.
