'Lawless thugs': police set up taskforce to deal with escalating gang violence

A policing taskforce comprising about 150 officers will be established to deal with Sydney's "horrific" gang violence. Taskforce Falcon will increase the force's "agility and effectiveness" and suppress the rise in violence, police said. A daylight shooting on a busy road in Granville, in Western Sydney, on May 25, allegedly targeting a senior figure in the notorious Alameddine crime clan, prompted the creation of the taskforce. The shooting in Granville was the third in a fortnight on Sydney's streets. Police fear Sydney could experience a repeat of the deadly Hamze-Alamadinne gang violence that led to the deaths of more than 20 people, including innocent people.

Deputy Commissioner Hudson said combining 13 investigative teams into one unit would strengthen the NSW Police Force's ability to drive down serious and violent crime. "This taskforce is about increasing our agility and effectiveness in both crime solving and crime prevention." NSW police minister Yasmin Catley said the recent violence on Sydney streets had been "horrific". "We won't tolerate these lawless thugs playing out their vendettas in our communities," she said.
