ACT Policing actively targets illegal Outlaw Motorcycle Gang (OMCG) activity in the ACT.
OMCGs and criminal activity
Criminal activities associated with OMCGs include:
- illicit firearms
- threatening behaviour
- acts of violence
- extortion
- corruption
- illicit drugs
Taskforce Invidia
Taskforce Invidia has been formed to track, disrupt and arrest members of organised crime groups, including OMCGs involved in criminal activities across the ACT. Invidia works with partners through a joint law enforcement initiative, National Taskforce Morpheus, to tackle the growing criminal threat posed by OMCGs across Australia.
Taskforce Invidia works with its partners, including ACT Policing’s Community Safety portfolio, to identify opportunities to divert vulnerable members of the community from OMCG membership
Reporting information to Crime Stoppers
ACT Policing is urging members of the community to support the police effort by reporting suspicious or criminal behaviour of OMCGs to Crime Stoppers including:
- drugs
- firearms
- extortion
- money laundering
- sex industry
- security industry
You could be eligible for a reward of up to $1000 for information that leads to successful prosecution involving criminal gangs, or the recovery of weapons or drugs connected to criminal gang activity.
If you suspect illegal OMCG activity, call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report it online via the Crime Stoppers website. Information can be provided anonymously and all reports will be reviewed/investigated by Taskforce Invidia.
Alternatively, if you see a crime occurring, contact police immediately on 131 444.
