Teens recruited online for crimes worth $200
Australian criminal networks are using social media and encrypted apps to recruit teenagers to commit serious crimes including arson, break-ins and murder for as little as $200. The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission reports organised crime groups are exploiting young people through online platforms, often underpaying them after crimes are completed and creating bidding wars that drive payments down to minimal amounts. These criminals use encrypted messaging to remain anonymous while directing youths to film their crimes for bonus payments.
