NSW police crack down on 'MEOC' car plates NSW police have moved to cancel the number plates that associates of a slain gang member used to reportedly mock police. Following the shooting of a suspected Brothers 4 Life gang member in Sydney this week, it was reported two cars with "MEOC" variations on their number plates were at the crime scene. MEOC also stands for the NSW police squad charged with investigating gang violence - the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad. In a statement on Wednesday night, NSW Police said it had applied to Roads and Maritime Services to have the plates deemed unsuitable. "The NSW Police Force has made application to RMS to have a range of number plates, including MEOC variations, deemed unsuitable," police said. This application has been granted by RMS and owners of MEOC numberplates are being advised these licence plates are being cancelled. NSW Police Force is also taking steps to prevent the further issuing of inappropriate plates. Two men, believed to be Mahmoud Hamzy, a cousin of jailed Brothers 4 Life boss Bassam Hamzy, and Omar Ajaj, were found with gunshot wounds in a garage in Revesby on Tuesday. Mr Hamzy died while Mr Ajaj survived with a gunshot wound to his leg and stomach.
