The National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (2001 - 2006) formed part of the National Crime Squad, a British Police organisation which dealt with major crime.

[edit] History

The National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) was created in 2001 as a result of an Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) initiative. It investigated serious and organised crime committed over the Internet, such as hacking, virus-writers, internet fraud and other hi-tech crimes involving the use of computers and telecommunications equipment. As of 1 April 2006, it ceased to exist, however many of its staff were transferred to the e-crime unit of the UK's new Serious Organised Crime Agency.
