News from Melbourne that the Apex gang has failed to register as under the Registered Gang (2016) provisions within 30 days of conducting initial operations. Therefore it will not be afforded official status as a Gang and will be subject to the full force of the law.
A spokesman for the Registered Gang members association has criticised the failure to register as an insult to its members putting them at risk of arrest if they threaten, obstruct or extort money. The value of registration was shown recently when members of a registered gang were not hindered at Melbourne docks.
