On Friday 8th October 2026, Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol were patrolling Mt Donna Buang, Warburton - when they came across a hoon meet. Approximately 12 vehicles and numerous people were in attendance and scattered like rats from a sinking ship. One P plater decided to stay for a chat and was issued a couple of infringement notices, costing him over $1500. He was issued a Section 13(2) RSA notice to produce his vehicle for inspection at Lilydale on 10th October, where he subsequently received a defect notice.

Victoria Police officers are increasing their visible presence at Chirnside Park Shopping Centre. As part of a proactive community safety initiative, local police are working with security staff and shopping centre management to addresses common issues such as opportunistic shoplifting, property damage and public disturbances, to ensure Chirnside Park Shopping Centre remains a welcoming and safe space for the entire outer-east community. As part of our commitment, Victoria Police are deploying a high-tech Mobile Police Facility directly to the retail precinct. Shoppers and retail staff can speak directly to a Police Officer, report non-urgent matters or share community safety concerns without leaving the centre. We managed to capture this picture with the Mobile Police Facility parked next to our friends from Ambulance Victoria.
