Protect your number plates!

Did you know that offenders use stolen number plates to avoid identification when committing serious offences?

SafePl8 is a Victoria Police initiative that helps people secure vehicle number plates with anti-theft screws to make them harder to steal.

Drive in and have one-way locking screws fitted to your vehicle to prevent number plate theft and help police reduce crime with the assistance of Cobram's Men's Shed.

🌸 Happy first day of Spring! 🌸

The days are getting longer, the weather is warming up, and everything is starting to come back to life.

A few springtime reminders while you’re out and about:

🦘 More wildlife is on the move – keep an eye out, particularly around dawn and dusk.

🚗 Slow down and stay alert – our smaller furry and feathered friends don’t always understand the road rules.

And yes, the maggies are back! Swooping season has officially arrived.

🚴 If you’re on a pushbike… good luck out there. 😂 Keep the helmet on, eyes up and maybe make peace with your local magpie before things get personal.

⚠️ Most importantly — PLEASE SLOW DOWN ON OUR ROADS.

Spring means more wildlife, more cyclists, more families out walking and more activity around our roads. A few extra seconds off the accelerator could prevent an accident and save a life.

Slow down. Stay alert. Expect the unexpected. Give cyclists room and watch for wildlife. 🚗🚴🐨

Enjoy the warmer weather and welcome to Spring!

“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 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.
