15.01.2022 Vic Police October Report for Moonee Valley Vic Police have reported that their biggest issue is theft from motor vehicles. The majority of these thefts are... opportunistic and can be prevented by not leaving any valuables inside vehicles at all, and ensuring vehicles are locked. Theft of mail/parcels from doorsteps has been increasingly common this year. This is due to people ordering more items online due to COVID restrictions. To help prevent mail theft, please try to ensure someone will be home for delivery, or redirect the parcel to another location (i.e post office/PO Box/neighbours house who you know will be home). Sometimes this is not an option, so if you can then try to provide details on a safer place for the parcel to be left that may be hidden more from street view. Online & phone scams are continuing. Please be cautious of giving your personal details via the phone particularly if it is an unexpected phone call. Don’t be afraid to hang up on the caller if you are unsure.

06.01.2022 There probably are some qualified, good meaning, tradies who go door to door to offer their services. But - how can you be sure that the blokes who just turned... up out of the blue to tell you that your roof needs re-tiling are the real deal? If the tradie approaches you, be wary. Check for licenses, qualifications, recommendations. Ask to see examples of their work. Don't pay up front and always check the fine print. And if it all goes horribly wrong - call the Police Assistance Line on 131 444

05.01.2022 In settings with low ventilation, COVID-19 is likely to remain in the air and accumulate in higher concentrations. Better air flow outside means you are much le...ss likely to spread or catch the virus - so catch up with your friends and family outdoors.
