The surging use of technology in crime has prompted South Australian police to establish a new division dedicated to cybercrime and financial fraud.
The new Financial and Cybercrime Investigation Branch began operations last week and involves 90 staff, including forensic accountants, digital analysts and expert investigators.
It has absorbed a number of areas previously dealt with by the Commercial and Electronic Crime Branch.
Police Minister Corey Wingard said the unit would have the ability to respond to an evolving criminal environment.
