The Gotcha Car Program was considered effective as car theft reports in Sydney had dropped from 5,800 per month as recorded in 1988 to 4,200 per month as recorded in 1991. The Gotcha Car Program was scrapped in 1992 as the NSW Police Administration felt that the program was pulling in officers from other important duties. -- Last edit: 2022-02-03 05:06:42
