Disrupting criminal networks
Organised car crime nets criminals more than
500m pa Illicit parts represent major
proportion 300 million It would be naive in
the extreme to believe criminals are not
targeting legitimate distribution channels to
launder significant volumes of stolen parts As
re-birthing becomes harder the parts trade is
increasing Australia needs a systematic and
integrated national response that addresses the
whole life cycle of vehicle production/use
