“It’s a shocking feeling when your hard-earned money has gone.”

Mannu thought he was paying his builder. Instead, scammers stole his $20,000 deposit.

Stories like Mannu’s are a reminder that scammers can target everyday transactions when we least expect it.

Every story shared could help protect another person.

No one’s just a number.

On this day, one year ago, two of our colleagues were tragically killed in the line of duty.

Today, and every day, we remember Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson and Senior Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart and the tragedy that occurred in Porepunkah on 26 August 2025.

We thank everyone for their support and solidarity on this difficult day.

We will remember them.

A text. A phone call. A code.

That’s all it took for scammers to steal enough money from Lindy to leave her in debt.

“They rush you through it and make you panic.”

Behind every scam report is a real person and a real story.

No one’s just a number.

Think you’d spot a scam? So did thousands of Australians.

More than 270,000 people fell victim to scams across Australia last year, so we’re urging everyone to:
🛑 Stop. Take a moment before giving your money or personal information to anyone.
👀 Check. Is the person or organisation you’re dealing with legit?
🔐 Protect. Act quickly if something feels wrong.

It’s worth just checking.

It takes seconds to steal a number plate. It only takes minutes to help secure one.
✅ Secure your number plates with anti-theft screws or pop rivets.
✅ Park in a garage or driveway where possible.
✅ Consider sensor lighting and CCTV at home.
✅ Park in well-lit areas when on the street.

Stolen number plates are often used to avoid identification while committing offences, which can leave vehicle owners dealing with unwanted fines and other complications.

Through our SafePL8 program, Victoria Police, SES and Neighbourhood Watch regularly attend community events to fit anti-theft screws and share practical advice on keeping your number plates secure.

EXERCISE CAUTION 🏃‍♂️🏋️‍♂️

Police continue to see a concerning spike in theft of vehicles from gyms and aquatic facilities across our region.

Offenders will often ask for people inside the gym working out to let them in, using the excuse that they 'have lost their swipe card' or 'left their swipe card inside'. They will also follow people through entry gates. Once inside, offenders head to the unsecured lockers and bag holders and steal car keys and other valuables.

When getting in your daily workout:

🔒Use the secure lockers provided or keep valuables with you.

🔑 Never allow someone to access the gym who does not have a swipe access card.

🗣️ If you lose your swipe access card, report it to the gym or aquatic centre as soon as possible, so it can be de-activated.

It only takes a few seconds to stop, look and follow the signs. 🚆

Rail crossings are shared by drivers, pedestrians and trains, and ignoring the rules can have serious consequences.

When you see flashing red lights, come to a complete stop. Stop before the boom gates and never queue across the tracks. Give Way and Stop signs are a given - follow them every time.

Take the extra few seconds.

Weather conditions like rain and mist reduce visibility, it's important for all road users to stay alert and look out for one another.

Whether you're walking, running, cycling or driving, make eye contact with other road users to ensure you've been seen, use designated crossings and traffic lights whenever possible, and stay aware of your surroundings, even while crossing the road.

Drivers should slow down and give way to pedestrians, particularly in 40-60km/h zones.

By making safe choices and remaining vigilant, we can all help create safer roads and shared pathways for everyone.
