A related but distinct, lower-tier offence covering organised gangs engaged in smaller-scale unlawful activity — things like theft, snatching, cheating in the general public, unauthorised ticket/betting/gambling operations — carried out by mobile organised crime groups operating in urban or semi-urban areas.
- Aimed at everyday, repeat street-level gang crime that affects ordinary people directly, distinct from the larger-scale syndicate activity covered by Section 111.
This is the more likely provision if you've been targeted by an organised street gang (e.g. coordinated snatching or scam rings) rather than large-scale syndicate crime.

Organised Crime
If you're a victim of coordinated, syndicate-style crime (not a one-off, isolated offence), this is the category built specifically for that pattern, on top of whatever the underlying act (extortion, trafficking, etc.) already covers.
Snatching
If your phone, bag or jewellery was grabbed off you suddenly on the street, this — not just generic theft — is the specific offence that fits.
