Walloon Crime – Lock it or lose it!

There is a recent increase in property crime offences in the usually very low crime area of Walloon.

These offences have largely been as a result of unlocked vehicles and dwellings being entered by opportunistic thieves.

Investigations are continuing into these offences and police are seeking anyone with information or CCTV of the incidents to come forward.

Police are urging people to lock their dwellings and vehicles to make it as hard as possible for these lowlifes to gain entry and steal your property.

Coffee with a Cop

Rosewood Police have arranged for the Project Booyar Coffee Van to be at the Rosewood Drakes carpark from 7am until 10am on April 9.

Sergeant and Officer in Charge at the Rosewood Station Travis Ehrich will join police from neighbouring stations and volunteers in policing on the day to have a chat with members of the community.

Project Booyar runs activities to support, Youth at Risk while also engaging with Rosewood police and the Rosewood High School to keep our youth on track.

Everyone is welcome to come along for a quality coffee, biscuit and a chat.
