Sandringham electorate crime
Brad ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (09:44): Over the past few weeks my office and I have received an increase in emails and phone calls and have had conversations with constituents who have personally experienced a home invasion or witnessed a crime take place locally. Locals are contacting me, fearful in their own homes because of residential burglaries, robberies and theft perpetrated by people from outside of my community, according to new data. Victoria Police have confirmed that there has been an increase in aggravated burglaries in my community. I request that the government not continue to ignore this increase in crime in my community, and I implore the Minister for Police to take urgent action to address it.
