"Vandals are smashing shop windows to generate work for corrupt repair companies.
Detectives suspect that a handful of crooked glaziers are responsible for dozens of attacks across Sydney every month. One repairer has been linked to more than 300 suspect incidents recorded in intelligence reports on the NSW Police's Computerised Operational Policing System (COPS). This number of entries relating to a single alleged offender group is unprecedented, with even some of the state's most notorious crooks attracting as few as 50 or 60 similar files, police sources say."
