Sydney's organised crime gangs are using the identities of innocent people to register stolen cars before using them to carry out heinous crimes, including murder.
Police investigating the killing of gangland figure Bilal Hamze and a plot to kill his brother Ibrahem Hamze last year now believe underworld figures are fraudulently registering cars to oblivious drivers, to carry out their crimes.
"We believe that the organised criminal network and these groups are shifting their MO (modus operandi) and their tactics and their strategies," Homicide Squad commander Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty told reporters on Thursday.
