Hunt for proceeds of crime

A team of hardened fraud investigators will be formed to hunt down and seize the millions of dollars in profits made by organised crime.
The new 22-strong Assets Recovery Unit will be at the sharp end of our fight against organised crime and methamphetamine.
The unit will support new laws that give police the power to detect and seize the assets and profits gangs and organised crime obtain illegally. By taking away their vast profits, organised crime will have less reason to exist.
The proceeds will be used to fund methamphetamine rehabilitation, Youth Aid programmes and other initiatives that prevent kids from joining gangs.
