Rising Pressure on Organised Criminal Networks

Police continue to apply pressure to OMCGs with the latest statistics revealing more than 285 (Members; 
Ex Members; Probationary; Prospect; Nominee and Associate OMCGs) have been charged on 705 
offences between January 2012 and October 2012.
The most serious charges include:
.  five Murder, Attempted Murder and Grievous Bodily Harm offences
.  113 Drug Trafficking, Supply, Produce and Possession
.  29 Possession / Use of a Dangerous Article
.  26 Motor Vehicle Steal / Unlawful Use and Possession
.  14 Unlawful Possession of Firearms
.   20 Assault Occasioning Bodily Harm / Assaults on Police
.  23 x Break and Enter, three Robbery and one x Deprivation of Liberty offence.
Increased scrutiny and intensive police activity targeting all OMCG crime will continue in an effort to create a strong disincentive for those who aspire to become OMCG members or support OMCG activities.
