25.01.2022 ***Arrests re Theft From Motor Vehicles*** Footscray Police were patrolling the Braybrook area in the early hours of Thursday morning when they noticed two suspicious males in a vehicle on Darnley Street. A search of the vehicle located illicit drugs and a large amount of stolen property believed to be from vehicle thefts. Constable Mandica stated that a 31 year old Gisbourne male had been charged with numerous offences including Theft from Motor Vehicle, Possess Drug of De...pendence and Handle Stolen Goods and was bailed to attend Sunshine Magistrates Court at a later date. A 37 year old Sunshine male was also interviewed and released pending further enquiries. Constable Mandica advised that most of the recovered property had been stolen from unlocked vehicles. He urged members of the public to never leave valuable items in their vehicle for any length of time and always make sure that their vehicles are locked. He said even if you are only going to be away from your vehicle for a couple of minutes, that is long enough for someone to break in and you should always lock the vehicle if it is out of your sight.
25.01.2022 Westgate Highway Patrol have been receiving reports of hoon driving in the area. This driver in Altona caught the attention of police, not sure if it was the fake taxi sign... or the bad paint job... or maybe it was the sparks flying off the rims while doing a burnout. Fortunately for this AU Falcon, it was impounded before any more damage was done. The male driver will appear before a court with a plethora of driving charges.

13.01.2022 If an offer of #QuickCash or #EasyMoney seems too good to be true, it probably is. Money muling is a type of money laundering. A ‘money mule’ is a person who receives money from a third party in their bank account and transfers it to another account, or withdraws it in cash to give to someone else, obtaining a commission for their efforts.... Simply put, money mules help criminal syndicates move money around the world, but the consequences for the money mules can be severe.
