Melbourne is in the grip of a home invasion crime wave, with police revealing they are being forced to arrest the same child criminals over and over again.
The latest crime statistics have exposed a 30 per cent surge in aggravated burglaries, with offenders as young as 10-years-old. The shocking figures come after Victoria Police revealed that gangs of youths were behind the majority of home invasions in Melbourne’s inner suburbs.
The most recent incident occurred on February 14th when a man had a knife held to his throat as a gang raided his apartment in Albion. On another occasion, an elderly man was left injured and bloodied in his bed after an intruder broke into his house north-west of Melbourne. In yet another incident, two machete-wielding men entered an exclusive suburb where crime has been escalating rapidly.
Victoria Police have urged anyone with information about these incidents to contact them immediately. They have also warned people to be vigilant and take extra precautions when it comes to their safety and security at home.
It is clear that more needs to be done to combat this worrying trend of home invasions by young offenders across Melbourne. It is essential that police continue their efforts to apprehend those responsible and ensure the safety of all Victorians.
