Thanks Frank,
https://www.noticer.news/melbourne-supermarket-robbery-spree-hunt/The rampage comes after Victoria Police figures revealed that
there have been
37,668 home invasions in the state since 2014,
affecting more than 94,000 residents and one in 75 homes.
And while the police no longer release offender nationality statistics to the public,
the last available figures show that
Sudan and South Sudan-born offenders
are heavily overrepresented in crime statistics, especially in the aggravated burglary category.
https://www.noticer.news/victoria-home-invasions-africans-overrpresented/According to the police figures, there was an average of 15 of these offences each day in 2023,
and the total of aggravated burglaries was up 130% since 2014 from 2,420 to 5,590,
the Herald Sun reported.
Wealthy suburbs have experienced the biggest increases, with home invasions in Bayside increasing 673%, 575% in Glen Eira, and 455% in Whitehorse over the same period.
Monash experienced the largest jump in Victoria, a 1,760% increase to 279 incidents from just 15 a decade ago.
Kingston suffered 182 last year, up from 37 in 2014.
