When can my property be restrained?
- A government law enforcement agency has the authority to restrain your property:
- when it reasonably suspects the property has been used to commit a crime; or
- where it has been purchased with money derived from an offence.
- Restraint of property orders can also be made as security against a future compensation order for a victim of crime. See our Victims' Compensation topic for more information.
