peer agreement (net): +3Criminal Investigation Branch Special Breaking Unit Explanation: Breakers is a nickname for a police unit in Australia. "Until the mid-1960s, the safebreaker had been revered by criminal colleagues as the "prince of thieves"...Cartels emerged under a number of leaders and these organisations painstakingly planned attacks on banks and company payrolls, executing them with military-like precision. To combat the problem, the NSW Police Force formed the armed hold-up squad. At the same time, the breaking detail was set up to investigate other major robberies. That group merged with the safe and arson squad and became the special breaking unit - or "breakers"." https://www.smh.com.au/national/tough-cops-needed-but-no-rot... " As was only recently established (through an analysis of a certain District Court Criminal Registry File, Wilson was acquainted with Brown in the 'Special Breaking Unit'. This unit was noted for corruption." http://home.alphalink.com.au/~radnat/mace.html |
