‘Spate’ of car break-ins in Weir Views

MeltonPolice have been made aware of a possible spate of theft from motor vehicles in the Weir Views area.

It has been suggested that during the evening and early morning there is a number of unknown persons walking around the streets and trying car door handles.

Police have very few reports of these incidents as it has not been reported to police, but CCTV footage is being shared of the alleged offending on social media.

In particular the streets bounded by Exford Road, Waterway, Oldbridge and Tamboritha boulevards.

Police are urging victims of crime to report it to police and not share on social media platforms as restricts police from identifying crime trends and does not provide the intelligence that assists police in performing patrols to reduce these crimes in your neighbourhood.

If your vehicle has been broken into, regardless of anything being stolen, or if you are not a victim but have CCTV footage investigators from the Melton Volume Crime Unit would like to hear from you.
