They are carrying out raids at several properties in KwaZulu-Natal.
On Tuesday morning, officers seized several luxury vehicles at a home on Kenyon Howden Road in Montclair - said to belong to an employee in the Durban Water and Sanitation Unit.
The Hawks' Hangwani Mulaudzi says documents and computers were also seized, but no arrests have been made yet.
"There are a number of addresses that we will be visiting today and the investigation is ongoing, so we haven't had a chance to go through all what we have managed to receive.

"Therefore, there hasn't been any arrests physically, but we are gathering the evidence and we are dealing with an investigation within the municipality and that matter is still ongoing.
Properties in Merebank, Woodlands, Morningside and Chatsworth have also been swooped on.
Malaudzi says this is a multi-million rand multi-disciplinary investigation which involves the Asset Forfeiture Unit (AFU).
"It's about R300 million that has been taken from the municipality. The Recovery is done by the AFU."
