Driver who led police on a dangerous pursuit in the northern suburbs has fled on foot

POLICE are combing the Munno Para area following a pursuit in the northern suburbs this morning.

When a patrol attempted to pull over a silver Commodore sedan in Elgin Ave, Evanston, for traffic matters about 4.30am, the vehicle failed to stop and a police pursuit began.

The car was followed to Main North Rd, where the pursuit was terminated for safety reasons.

A short time later the Commodore was found crashed into a tree at Munno Para Railway Station.

The vehicle sustained extensive damage but there was no one inside or nearby.

Police searched the area with the help of a police dog but the driver has not been found.

Further inquiries are continuing. Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

Cardboard Officer Cuts Crime At Mass. Subway Stop

AMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — The burly officer watching over the bike racks at a Boston-area transportation hub is a real stiff.

As part of an effort to cut crime at the Alewife MBTA subway and bus station in Cambridge, transit police placed a cardboard cutout of a police officer in the bicycle cage. Hundreds of people use the racks daily.

Deputy Chief Robert Lenehan says the fake cop, along with video cameras and a new lock, has cut bike thefts by 67 percent.

It's also a money saver. Lenehan estimates it would cost $200,000 a year to have an officer watch over the cage full-time.

The cutout is actually a picture of real MBTA Officer David Silen.

Silen says the split second thieves take to glance at the cutout is enough to discourage them.

Man Leads Police On Chase After Allegedly Stealing Taxi At Knifepoint

Police say a man who allegedly stole a taxi at knifepoint in Sydney's west last night led officers on four chases.

Steven Norris, 35, allegedly stopped a taxi in the middle of a road at Emerton and threatened the driver with a knife.

He then allegedly asked the 43-year-old driver to drive him a short distance before forcing him out of the vehicle and speeding off.

The driver contacted police, who spotted the taxi being driven erratically.

Officers started and stopped four short car chases before losing sight of the taxi.

The alleged offender was then seen by police walking along a street at Carlingford and the taxi was found crashed into a tree nearby.

Police took the man to hospital to be treated for a head injury before charging him with a number of serious offences.

Mr Norris appeared in Parramatta bail court via videolink earlier this afternoon charged with several serious offences.

He was denied bail and is set to reappear in court on August 20.

Cops leak files to alleged crims

Secret police files leaked to alleged crime bosses
Nick McKenzie and Richard Baker
December 2, 2008

TOP-SECRET Victoria Police files have been leaked to alleged crime bosses and killers, compromising federal and state drug trafficking investigations.

In one of the most serious security breaches in Australian law enforcement, the leaked information came from the state surveillance squad, which conducts physical and technical surveillance on crime targets.

Alleged drug baron John Higgs, a founder of the Black Uhlans outlaw motorcycle gang, received information from the leaked files, as did other members of his syndicate.

At least two other Melbourne men — one an alleged murderer and the other a suspected drug trafficker — also received their confidential surveillance records. One fled overseas after obtaining copies of the files.

The leak is the latest in a series of corruption scandals to entangle the Victoria Police since 2001 and will prompt new calls for a full inquiry into the links between organised crime and serving and former police.

The revelations will also put pressure on the State Government over its previous commitments to reform Victoria Police’s information-handling processes after repeated police files scandals in recent years.

The Office of Police Integrity and the Victoria Police are investigating the latest leak and senior police yesterday briefed the surveillance squad about the investigations. The Australian Federal Police, the Australian Crime Commission and other agencies have been informed of the security breach.

OPI director Michael Strong said: “Information security within the Victoria Police has long been of concern to the OPI and has been addressed in several of our public reports.”

Mr Strong said he was conducting “a comprehensive independent review” of police information security. “Any breach can have serious operational issues and even put lives at risk. Victoria Police needs to give the issue a high priority.”

A Victoria Police spokeswoman said investigators were “vigorously pursuing” those responsible for the leaks and “that the vast majority of people in the (surveillance) unit are professional”. She said Superintendent Paul Sheridan would review the unit’s management and operations and that the force was implementing a range of information security reforms.

The latest leaks have compromised Victoria Police investigations, while related probes by the crime commission and the federal police are believed to have been affected.

Surveillance officers create files detailing the movements and associates of a criminal target. If a suspect obtains a file, he will see how long police have been watching him. This can compromise investigations or give criminals warning they could be charged.

Some of the information leaked related to the AFP’s Operation Inca, which led to the arrest in August of Higgs and others over the world’s largest ecstasy importation.

The Victoria Police surveillance squad monitored several of Inca’s criminal targets during the operation’s early stages.

Over the past two decades, Higgs’ crime syndicate has repeatedly received leaked or stolen police files.

Suspected drug trafficker Mohammed Oueida fled overseas fearing he was to be arrested after he received surveillance files revealing he was under investigation. It is not known if has returned to Australia.

Higgs and Oueida were connected to an alleged crime syndicate — other members are also suspected of receiving leaked information — pursued by state and federal drug trafficking investigators. A Victoria Police operation named Agamas stalled in March because the syndicate pulled out of an alleged importation. It is unknown if this was related to leaked files.

Alleged murderer Bassam Tiba — who was wanted over a 2004 killing in Melbourne until his arrest last month — was also leaked information from the surveillance squad police files.

Federal police officers discovered Tiba had obtained information from surveillance files after they located and arrested him last month in the Solomon Islands.

The leaks suggest there are serious flaws with the Victoria Police’s creation and handling of files on surveillance targets.

A former Victoria Police crime department officer familiar with the surveillance squad’s operations said the handling of information had been ad hoc, unorganised and hard to audit.

He said the ineffective supervision and technology used to collate and store surveillance files was a result of poor resourcing by the State Government.

Last month, the outgoing Victorian Commissioner for Law Enforcement Data Security, Laurie Bebbington, described as “an ongoing concern” the force’s failure to implement its central information security policy to govern the storage and handling of all sensitive information.

Ms Bebbington said the policy was “in a perpetual state of review, edit and partial completion” and there was no sign of when it would be finished.

In late 1996, Higgs and his associates were suspected of masterminding the theft of files from drug squad headquarters, including those detailing the identity of a policy informer. That theft remains unsolved.

In late 2003, close associates of Higgs were among a host of underworld figures who obtained stolen police files detailing the activities of corruption and gangland informer Terence Hodson, who was later murdered along with his wife.

The leaks are likely to further damage relationships between federal and state police.

The Age has known about the leaks for several months, but delayed publishing to avoid jeopardising the investigation.

Croatian Club linked to probe
Nick McKenzie
February 21, 2008
A SECRET anti-corruption taskforce examining links between police, criminals and sex workers has raided the Australian Croatian Association as part of inquiries into its president, a long-serving police officer, Tony Juric.
Officers from a joint Victoria Police and Office of Police Integrity taskforce raided the club premises in Footscray last Friday, seizing documents and financial records.
The raids were the first overt move of a long-running investigation into several police with suspected improper associations, including some who have served at inner-city stations.
It is the latest in a string of corruption inquiries to hit the force, from investigations into the former drug squad in 2002-04, two continuing taskforces into police links to underworld murders, and the recent OPI public hearings into the police union chief, Paul Mullett, and a former top officer, Noel Ashby.
Mr Juric, who has been president of the Croatian Social Club since 1995, was suspended from his role as uniform sergeant at the St Kilda police station in October.
He was charged recently over an unrelated matter involving an alleged attempt to cover up a traffic accident involving a police vehicle.
Mr Juric’s links with figures tied to the crime world have caused concern among law enforcement officers.
But supporters of Sergeant Juric say he strongly denies any wrongdoing.
They say and is a popular policeman whose wide network stems from his role as an ethnic community leader, former police union delegate and a former detective in the armed offenders squad.
One of Mr Juric’s closest friends is Tony Ilija Crnac, a building union official who was sentenced to three years in prison for his role in 2001 in a $147 million hashish importation, allegedly tied to the Moran crime family. In a move approved by his superior officers, Sergeant Juric gave character testimony for Mr Crnac during his County Court trial.
Mr Crnac, who was released from prison last year, is an active member of the Croatian Club.
Mr Juric also gave character testimony for a former police officer, Mario Siketa, who was sentenced to one year in prison in September 2006 for receiving $280,000 in secret commissions while working as a private security consultant at the Melbourne Grand Prix.
It is believed Mr Juric’s support in court of Mr Siketa was also approved by senior police.
In a speech at a Croatian community function in 2006, Sergeant Juric thanked the gangland identity and crane company owner Mick Gatto, along with 19 other building industry figures, for providing free materials, labour and equipment to renovate the Croatian association headquarters.
A June 2006 report from The Croatian Herald quoted Sergeant Juric as saying that Mr Gatto’s company was among several whose “work, material and/or financial donations or otherwise, enabled this great project to come to this stage”.
He also thanked Mr Gatto’s business partner in the crane company, Matt Tomas, who is a long-time friend of Mr Juric, and also plays a prominent role in the Croatian community as chairman of the Melbourne Knights Football Club, of which Sergeant Juric is a former board member.
Mr Gatto was cleared of the murder of an underworld hitman in June 2005.
The police facing charges along with Mr Juric in relation to unrelated allegations of covering up a car crash are Senior Constable Belinda Rampal and probationary Constable Alan Black.

EVEN GARRY THE GOAT IS GETTING HARRAST ON HIS TRAVEL LOL

After successfully getting around the Border Village Quarantine station on the dirt road (without getting a puncture or bogged) we pulled back onto the main hwy just short of Eucla.

We then drove a couple of kilometres before passing a cop car who turned the disco lights on for us.

After we stopped, the male and female copper came up and politely waited for Jimbo to forage around the dash until he found the scissors he uses to turn off the engine.

This is how the conversation went:

Chick copper: Is that a goat?

Jimbo: Yeah, his name is Gary. Hang on a minute, I'll let him out to have a piss, so you can say G'day.

Bloke copper: I've never seen this before.

Jimbo: Yeah, he's a good goat. Don't worry about him wandering, he won't go far. He'll just have a bit of a roam. He loves the salt bush out here. We travel all around Australia doing comedy shows together in pubs.

Bloke copper: Is he part of the act?

Jimbo: Sort of. He's more my publicist actually. The best one I've had too.

Chick copper: That's not Gary the goat who went to court in Sydney over a police fine for eating grass or something?

Jimbo: Yeah, that's the same Gary. The Rocks cops gave us the ticket. Good blokes, those coppers. They really helped us out. We got loads of publicity out of it.

Chick copper: Yeah, it seemed silly. I couldn't believe they went through with it. Anyway, have you got your licence, we've just got to do a driver's check on you.

Jimbo: I lost it but I've ordered a new one which should be arriving in the mail real soon.

Bloke copper: Is this your van?

Jimbo: Yeah... Actually sorry no, it's a friend's who lives in Victoria. But I pay the rego on it.

Chick copper: Have you got any ID?

Jimbo: Yeah, I've got a passport in the glovebox somewhere. Here tis.

Chick copper: Great.

Bloke copper: What are all these tubes running along the side of your van?

Jimbo: They are fuel lines for the extra tank. I'll show you how it's works round the back....You see I collect used cooking oil from pubs, then strain it through a Coles bag into this garbage bin. I then pump it into this '44' drum. It's a bit messy and takes a bit of time but its got me 50,000k's round Australia for free. Not to mention how far it got the three bands who used it before me.

Bloke copper: Yeah, I've heard about biodiesel but nothing this rough.

Chick copper: You're name doesn't seem to be coming up on our computer.

Bloke copper: What state are you from?

Jimbo: Its a WA licence but my mailing address is in NSW. It should come up. A copper checked me last week. Funny story actually. Gary was being mobbed by a school excursion out the back of a netball stadium where I'd stopped to give him a feed in Adelaide. Anyway, next minute I was surrounded by four cops who thought I was taking photos of school children! I had to explain to them that I was just trying to get a good shot of Gary for his facebook page. People are always thinking the worse of each other these days hey!

Chick copper: Don't worry, I've found your licence details.

Bloke copper: Look, there are a few issues with this van. If fact, I'm not sure where to start.

Jimbo: Yeah, she could do with a bit of work.

Bloke copper: And a clean. See this broken tail light.. dust has got into it and covered the reflector.

Jimbo: Yeah, I know. I'm just one good gig away from getting a better van, don't worry. Although, I've been saying that for twenty years now... but who knows, it might happen this weekend in Kalgoorlie. Its not often I get a gig in a town where people have jobs.

Bloke copper: Where are you playing there?

Jimbo: I'm not sure yet.

Bloke copper: Look, I'm going to have to give you a fine for something so how about I make it for, 'fail to maintain vehicle for a roadworthy'. It's $100 but doesn't come with any points.

Jimbo: That sounds excellent to me. Cheers mate. It'll keep us on the road until we get some good gigs.

Bloke copper: Look, I can tell you're an entertainer having a go and you're not doing anything wrong but this fine is the best I can offer you.

Jimbo: Mate, trust me, we're very happy with this deal. In fact we're stoked. There's no way we'll be taking it to court either. It's more than a fair cop and we fully appreciate it.

Bloke copper: I know what it's like mate, I travelled all around Australia in the 90s in a shit car and copped the fines too.

Jimbo: You don't see many shitboxes on the road these days do you?

Bloke copper: They're not allowed. The government is making up more and more ways for us to defect cars and then forcing us to enforce the rules. I think it's because they get so much tax money every time someone buys a new car. For instance, with defecting, if I see one drop of oil in your engine, I'm meant to fine you for it. Just one drop!

Jimbo: Well if you'd seen my van back in Port Augusta, you wouldn't have found any oil on the engine.

Bloke copper: Why not?

Jimbo: It was all on the bitumen.

Bloke copper (smiling while ripping off the ticket): There we go mate, you've still got a month to pay it.

Jimbo: No worries at all. I reckon, I'll even get this one in on time. We've already got two gigs booked in WA.

Bloke copper: The only reason, I gave you this ticket is because if you have an accident down the road you can sue me for letting you go without a fine or for not taking your van off the road.

Jimbo: Yeah, the web of rules in Australia is getting pretty tight these days for everyone. You cops have actually got it worse than anyone.

Bloke copper: You're not wrong there.

Jimbo: Yeah back in the day, you guys could probably have got away with enjoying at least a six pack while trawling for speeders on The Nullabor. Whats it like now? I bet you're not even allowed to pack a couple of lights?

Bloke copper: Ha! Those days are gone ...although you two remind me of them. Safe travels and good luck on your tour.

Jimbo: You know, I often hear how the worst cops in the country are posted to Eucla as punishment for being arseholes. But you guys have just proved to me though that that rumour is bullshit.

Chick copper: Thanks. We'll take that as a compliment.

Jimbo: Before you go, can I take a picture of you both with Gary for his Facebook page?

Bloke copper: Sure.

Chick copper: I don't want to be in it, so I'll take the pic.

Jimbo: Cool! Come on Gary, look at the camera!

Police should be more polite to the public is this a joke

The Policing minister also raised the prospect of the police, fire and ambulance service merging into a single emergency service.

The comments come after David Cameron said that Britain only had a "relatively honest police force" in comments which were seen as showing how far esteem for the police has fallen since the 1950s when the TV series 'Dixon of Dock Green' reflected people's respectful view of them.

In a speech to the Reform think tank on Monday, Mr Green said officers should learn that friendliness builds relationships with communities, as seen during last year's London Olympics.

He said that "public faith in policing" had been "undermined" by recent revelations about the police spying on the family and friends of murdered black teenager Stephen Lawrence and the use of dead babies' identities to provide undercover false names.

He said: “The public reaction to the friendliness and openness of police at the Olympic Games shows how important relationship-building can be. A more open, polite, thoughtful, modern and representative police force can renew its relationship with the British public for the benefit of us all.”

He said: “The Team GB example shows very clearly that it does not matter how good you are – you can always get better.

“And when you think about the excellence our police display in so much of what they do, the prospect of them improving everything by just one per cent is an exciting one.

“So I want and expect to see a technologically savvy, well-managed, self-confident, open, transparent and scrupulously honest police force. The police have always made us proud. I want them to do so again.”

The comments were welcomed by Keith Vaz MP, chairman of the House of Commons' home affairs select committee, who said: "I think it is very good idea - good customer service is essential in delivering good and bad news."

But Labour said Mr Green’s comments were “deeply patronising”. Shadow policing minister David Hanson said: “I am sure a police officer tackling a pub brawl on a Saturday night in the town centre will take the advice of their Policing Minister to heart.

“Of course the police should be polite with the public but many will see Damian Green comments as deeply patronising as they have been doing it throughout their careers.

“The police should always act appropriately and face the consequences if they don’t - should they be polite of course they should and they don’t need Damian Green to tell them that.”

Mr Green also raised the prospect of merging the police, ambulance and fire services into a single emergency service.

He said: “There is clearly huge scope for collaboration between all three blue light services across the country and we have established a democratic model which could, in theory, oversee elements of all of them.”

One idea was for newly-elected Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to oversee all emergency services, not just local police forces.

He formally confirmed ministers were looking at plans which could see the PCCs taking over all emergency services, following a review of fire services by Sir Ken Knight.

Mr Green said: “He (Sir Ken) raised the prospect of PCCs taking on responsibility for the fire and rescue service, which we are considering.

“Sir Ken’s thoughtful and well-judged work gave much food for thought on blue light collaboration and I am working with DCLG and Health colleagues on how it might be carried forward.”

He added: “Could PCCs end up overseeing both fire and ambulance services? That might be a long way down the road, but let us start thinking about it.

“Ask yourself the same question, why do we send three separate vehicles to a road traffic accident? If we were starting from scratch, would we organise ourselves in this way? I very much doubt it.”

Asked about Mr Green's coments on politeness, a Police Federation of England and Wales spokesman said: “British police officers are nationally and internationally recognised as being the most approachable and friendly in the world.

“The police service has an extremely strong rapport with the public and allegations surrounding the historic behaviour of a tiny minority should not detract from that.”

Turning to the possibility of the emergency services merger, the spokesman added: "While we agree there is scope for greater collaboration between the emergency services we need to first see how Police and Crime Commissioners settle into their existing role which remains in its infancy.

“Members of the three emergency services have very different roles, skills and powers which are easily recognisable to the public. It is difficult to see how a multi-purpose emergency service would work in practice given the distinct nature of these roles.”

The comments came as Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, and London Mayor Boris Johnson are due to be quizzed by MPs on the Home Affairs Select Committee later on Tuesday.

The Met Police chief is likely to be asked about the plebgate scandal involving some of his officers and former chief whip Andrew Mitchell.

Some of his officers have been arrested as part of the ongoing probe into last September’s spat in Downing Street.

A police log allegedly detailing the incident was leaked to the media and an email purportedly from a member of the public, which appeared to back the officers’ version of events, was also received by the Met.

But a major probe was launched after CCTV footage from Downing Street emerged that cast doubt on the officers’ version of events.
