Port Phillip Crime Investigation Unit detectives wrapped up a protracted investigation on Monday following the arrest of a man who was wanted by detectives following a series of violent assaults and thefts across Port Phillip during July and August.

Investigators identified a suspect and got to work on locating him.

Detectives, with the assistance of the Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) and other specialised and local police descended on Kirner Street North Melbourne about 2.30pm on 31 August, after receiving information their suspect was in the area.

Police located the stolen Toyota RAV 4 parked in Kirner Street and soon after, the suspect returned to the stolen vehicle and upon seeing police, he fled on foot.

“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.

A woman has blown more than three and a half times the limit after allegedly failing to give way to a police car in Albert Park this morning.

Officers were patrolling along Canterbury Road when a Chery Omoda pulled in front of them near Kerford Road about 3am.

The vehicle was intercepted and officers spoke with the driver, a 24-year-old South Yarra woman.

She underwent a breath test, returning an alleged reading of .179.

Her licensed was suspended for a period of 12 months and she is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving offences.

The vehicle was impounded at a cost of $999.

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

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.

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.

The Silk Miller Memorial Day brings Victoria Police colleagues, family and friends together each year to honour Sergeant Gary Silk and Senior Constable Rod Miller, who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

The annual football and netball matches against Port Phillip and Stonnington have become a lasting tradition. A day to come together and remember Gary and Rod, and honour the impact they continue to have.

This year, Port Phillip claimed the win in the football and Stonnington took it out in the netball, but as always, the day was about something much bigger than the scoreboard.

Remembering Gary and Rod, 28 years on. 💙
