Some of the teenagers are accused of ‘swarming’ offences, which involve large groups of young people entering retail stores, ripping products from display units and fleeing.
Warrants were executed in Melbourne’s south-east and west, including the suburbs of Cranbourne, Dandenong, Lara, Norlane, Narre Warren, Pakenham, Reservoir, Sunshine and Truganina.North West Metro Region Commander Tim Hansen said those arrested on Monday were "the most active and dangerous offenders we have"."These youths are different because they go from having no criminal record to committing high-harm crimes. It’s unheard of in youth offending.
The youths, most aged between 15 and 21, were "very well networked" on social media and generally planned to strike to cause the most harm they could, police allege.Mr Hansen said those arrested had “little fear” of authority and the criminal justice system. "We put a lot of components to these offenders on conditional bail, we give them an opportunity … and some of the conditional bail relates to curfew,” Mr Hansen told radio station 3AW.The arrests form part of Operation Liege, which was established in July to share intelligence across police borders as part of crackdown on serious crime.
We all know it's African gangs. Such a cultural value add.
Yay, they need to have consequences for their dumb actions.
It was 53 How young is young how old is old.? Who gets to decide because l can't believe the fake news of the age
Young people? You mean 40 dangerous Sudanese youth gang members who were terrorising residents were FINALLY caught? The media is meant to hold leaders accountable yet deliberately ignore the OBVIOUS detail. If they were all white French kids would the media obfuscate that FACT?
All support for VictoriaPolice - amazing job! Let’s hope the courts don’t let everyone down - either show them all their cell or the door!
So our court system will be dealing with this.. the outcome will no doubt be through the legal representation our country offers.. the insurance companies will no doubt fight the claims that result from property damage. As for the lasting effects for the victims?
Arrested Charged Bailed CCO Next
good work - but they will be back causing trouble soon enough
You forgot to add 'and they were all released soon after'
All on bail and reoffending again I’m sure!! Their parents obviously don’t give two shits what their kids do!!! Useless
ThisisRaysBlog But how many already out on bail how many out on previouse bail and how many if any will do time if found guilty no many i am betting
Better not to have them in the country in the first but, failing that, deportation upon release from prison.
About time - now the courts must impose serious penalty and support the clean out of rogue element inthe community - put these offenders to work on remote road building projects or evict them from Australia
Look forward to learning the fate of this group of 40 offenders ... then again, maybe outcomes be kept secret ! Sportsbet taking odds on number released on bail
For youths read males. We are breeding too many They are superfluous to our needs and we are the only species who does so. They are like flock magpies.
Diversity is our strength
And released?
Well done Victoria Police! Now it's up to the magistrates to do their bit.
Well that social experiment went well, didn’t it?
Jail time. Harsh punishment is needed to stop these. They are brazen, not scared and no respect for the law. Enough is enough. Public had enough of their shenanigans with little or no consequence. And our taxes shldn’t be handed out to these useless thugs & their families. 🇦🇺
