25.01.2022 The 40-year-old Heidelberg Heights man was charged with 54 offences including burglary, theft and committing indictable offences whilst on bail. He was remanded to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court later today.

25.01.2022 The man was crossing the east-bound lanes of Victoria Parade, near Wellington Street, when he was hit by a white car about 3.30pm. He then bounced into a dark-coloured van which drove off. We are urging the driver of the dark-coloured van to come forward and assist with the investigation.... Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

24.01.2022 The offender entered the café on Gertrude Street which had closed for the day through the open front door about 4:15 PM on 21 March and threatened an employee with a knife and demanded cash.

24.01.2022 As we head into warmer weather and what some call the silly season, we’re encouraging you to look after yourselves (and your friends!) while you’re out and about in Yarra. Here are some tips to keep you and your mates safe: Plan your journey and make sure you have safe transport to and from your destination.... When a friend has had too much to drink, encourage them to slow down. Walk away from dangerous or conflict situations and take your friends with you. Don’t leave friends alone with somebody they’ve just met. Remember, we’re here if you need us. If you feel unsafe or if you witness a crime, call Triple Zero (000) for immediate police assistance. For non-urgent crimes and events, contact the Police Assistance Line on 131 444 or via onlinereporting.police.vic.gov.au Let’s look after each other and get through the rest of the year safely.

23.01.2022 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.

Whether you are travelling a short distance down the road or on a long journey always wear a seatbelt. There’s no excuse.
