‘CHURCH STREET CRIME.’

Tuesday, 27 August 2024.

Mr NEWBURY (Brighton) (12:54):

Ram raids, swarm shoplifting and knife fights are happening every week in Church Street, Brighton.

Last week just after school pick-up a knife fight started.

Signage was being usedas shields, chairs were thrown and glass bottles were being used as projectiles.

Church Street traders are sick of the attacks, and Brighton residents are tired of this Labor Government ignoring these crimes.
