<\/p>\nA secret investigation into violent contract criminals and a network of “kill cars” has been revealed after an alleged murder plot at a daycare centre was disrupted.<\/p>\n
In an escalation of Sydney’s increasingly brazen gangland wars, NSW Police on Tuesday pounced on a group of men driving through Revesby in Sydney’s southwest with balaclavas and pistols.<\/p>\n
The trio were accused of trying to intercept and kill their target as he picked up a child at a daycare centre.<\/p>\n
While announcing new arrests, police on Friday revealed they had covertly been watching contract criminals and their network of staged vehicles or “kill cars” across Sydney for some time.<\/p>\n
A second trio were arrested on Thursday over their alleged involvement in the G7 crew, one of several groups of contract criminals using the staged cars.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Three people were arrested in Sydney in relation to an alleged “kill car” bust. <\/p>\n
Two men, aged 18 and 21, are due to face a bail court on instrument of crime, crime proceeds and gang-related charges.<\/p>\n
A 16-year-old meanwhile is in custody accused of car theft, driving and gang charges.<\/p>\n
Police say the raids across eight properties on Thursday netted five cars, a firearm, ammunition, AU$41,000 (NZ$46,700) in cash, GPS trackers and 37 mobile phones and dedicated encrypted criminal devices.<\/p>\n
“The use of kill cars has emerged as a common denominator in serious and violent crimes linked to organised crime, including murders, kidnappings, and other high-risk offences,” NSW Police’s organised crime squad commander Peter Faux said.<\/p>\n
“We’ve had enormous success targeting organised crime by following the money. Now, we’re following the cars, and it’s proving just as effective.”<\/p>\n
The public can help by reporting suspicious vehicles parked for long periods of time and with signs of false or tampered plates.<\/p>\n
“That tip could be the difference between a crime prevented and a tragedy,” Detective Superintendent Faux said.<\/p>\n
Warring groups and brutal enforcement of gang members stepping out of line have triggered dozens of public shootings, murders and other violent crimes over the past year.<\/p>\n
Innocent people have been caught in the crossfire including a mother abducted at gunpoint in front of her two sons from her Bankstown home in April, and then murdered.<\/p>\n
A “very close associate” of her de facto husband is alleged to have orchestrated the murder.<\/p>\n
Condell Park plumber John Versace was meanwhile executed in his driveway in May in what police believe was a case of mistaken identity.<\/p>\n
In the latest in a spree of public, daylight shootings, former UFC fighter Suman Mokhtarian, 33, was gunned down while out for a walk on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A secret investigation into violent contract criminals and a network of “kill cars” has been revealed after an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69567,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[85,67,42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-69566","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-australia","9":"tag-crime-and-justice","10":"tag-headlines","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-top-news","13":"tag-top-stories","14":"tag-topnews","15":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69566\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
