18.01.2022 Local Area Commander Update With the relaxing of CHO restrictions in recent weeks, Boroondara and Camberwell police have seen an increase of people moving through the community, which has led to an amount of burglaries and thefts of and from motor vehicles. We are putting more resources in these hotspot areas as detailed below. Multiple burglaries have occurred near High Street and Studley Park Road Kew. We have activated our Proactive Policing tasking team to provide ...a visible presence and intercept vehicles to look for people loitering in the area for crime. A male from the northern suburbs was recently arrested and charged with 10 offences including 3 burglaries. He was remanded in custody. Another area of burglaries has been adjacent to the Camberwell train line. We are working with our Transit Police partners to intercept those people who are travelling into the area by train. We have also seen a small number of vehicles stolen this month near Toorak Road and Through Road Camberwell. A timely reminder for all Boroondara residents to please lock your homes and vehicles and remove valuable items from view. Robberies at Anderson Park Hawthorn have been investigated and 8 people have been arrested. Our Divisional Crime Team and neighbouring detectives made the arrests last week as part of an operation to prevent further crime. We are working with council and have committed a large number of resources to parks and gardens across Boroondara to deter anti-social behaviour across open spaces, and are continually reviewing our intelligence about those who contribute to public order issues. CommConnect is creating positive community engagements in Boroondara’s 11 Wards, with dedicated Sergeants out and about building relationships with community groups, not for profits, education facilities and marginalised groups. Please feel free to contact us to discuss any safety issues in your area. We look forward to working with our Neighbourhood Watch volunteers to look for opportunities to support community safety and crime prevention.

17.01.2022 Victoria Police continues to play an important role in keeping people safe during the coronavirus pandemic. We do not want regional communities to be put at risk by those who deliberately breach the Chief Health Officer directions and travel there. Victoria Police will be strengthening its enforcement activities, both at our vehicle checkpoints and in regional and rural areas in order to help prevent the spread of coronavirus. We will be increasing the number of vehicles chec...ked; every vehicle towing a caravan or boat, every car carrying a fishing rod or swag will be checked. There will be significant delays at these vehicle checkpoints, and we know this will be frustrating for those who are travelling for one of the permitted reasons. However, these checks are an important and necessary step to prevent the spread of coronavirus to regional Victoria. Anyone found to be blatantly and deliberately breaching the Chief Health Officer directions and travelling from metro Melbourne to regional Victoria without a lawful reason will be issued with a $4957 fine.

16.01.2022 Have you heard of the GLLO program within Victoria Police? Victoria Police’s LGBTIQ+ Liaison Officers, or ‘GLLOs’, are available to members of LGBTIQ+ communities to help access police services and assistance when needed. We provide support for the Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual, Transgender and Intersex Community. For a variety of reasons many homophobic, biphobic and transphobic incidents and crimes still go unreported to police. This is a trend we are working hard to reverse and ...our GLLOs are at the forefront of this. We have a passionate team of GLLO’s working to improve the relationship and develop the trust and confidence of the LGBTIQ+ community in police, and we are reaching out to you for help. If you have any ideas on how we can work with the community to better these relationships please get in touch with First Constable Kara DOBSON, GLLO at Camberwell Police Station, [email protected] (03) 9882 0688. We would love to hear from you.

08.01.2022 As the weather starts to warm up, we know this is a time when many people would normally like to be out and about but it is important that if you choose to leave your home you continue to adhere to the directions of the Chief Health Officer. For those in Metropolitan Melbourne this includes following the directions around public gatherings which are strictly limited to a maximum of five people from up to two households. Breaching this restriction will result in a $4956 infri...ngement notice. People must also continue to wear a mask and not travel further than 5km from home. While the majority of Victorians continue to do the right thing there unfortunately remain those who deliberately breach restrictions and place lives at risk. A number of fines were issued to people who breached directions at St Kilda beach yesterday (Friday 2 October) and Victoria Police will be out in force at beaches and popular public spaces this weekend. We will not hesitate to fine those who clearly and blatantly breach the Chief Health Officer directions.

03.01.2022 Police are warning the community to be wary of a recent spate of telephone scams. Members of the public have contacted police stating they have received a phone call from someone claiming the victim has an outstanding tax debt.

The scammers reportedly ask for personal information or bank details, and in some examples request the victim purchases online music vouchers or similar products to pay supposed fines. If you receive a phone call requesting personal information or payment from a person representing themselves from a law enforcement or government agency: Do not respond to the request and hang up Call the institution back via a publicly listed phone number If you have lost money as a result of this type of scam, please report the matter to your local police station.
