‘ORCHARD STREET CRIMES’.

Mr NEWBURY (Brighton) (10:11):

With Victoria Police confirming that the youth crime crisis first started in Bayside, my community has been hit by escalating home invasions and aggravated burglaries for almost three years.

In recent weeks Orchard Street in Brighton was attacked four nights out of seven.

Labor’s catch-and-release bail laws are causing deep damage to our community.
