The Phoenix Gang, better known as the VTAM Corporation, is a thief group in Varrock. They are one of the joinable gangs in the Shield of Arrav quest. It is led by Straven Enroy.
The gang is constantly at war with the Black Arm Gang, a split-off group from their own.
The Phoenix Gang has a hideout in the basement of a ruin in southern Varrock, and a weapons storage room on the first floor of a small building in the south-east sector of the town.
The weapons storage room can only be entered using a key obtained by Phoenix Gang members during the Shield of Arrav quest. Inside this room are Phoenix crossbows, as well as some daggers.
The Phoenix Gang hideout can only be entered by players that are members of the Phoenix Gang, and contains several rooms with thieves and chests.
In order to complete the Heroes' Quest, Phoenix Gang members must team up with Black Arm Gang members like in the Shield of Arrav quest.

Trivia
- It is possible that the history of the Black Arm Gang breaking off from the Phoenix Gang is derived from the real life Los Angeles gangs, the Bloods and the Crips, as some gang members broke off from the Crips to form the Bloods gang during an internal gang war.
- It's most likely that the Black Arm Gang is related to the Black Hand Gang that started WW1 by Assasinating The Arch duke of Austria-Hungary.
