The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serious_Organised_Crime_Agency" title="Wikipedia">Serious Organised Crime Agency</a> was formally launched on Saturday. It's their responsibility to deal with serious organised crime in the <abbr title="United Kingdom">UK</abbr>; they will, of course, be working closely with their colleagues in the Light-Hearted Organised Crime Agency.
