A SPIKE in thefts from cars has been reported across a number of local suburbs.
In Mentone, Parkdale, Mordialloc, Aspendale, and Chelsea Heights, more than 80 reports of items stolen from motor cars were made to police between 2 April and 6 April.
Police say that most of those thefts occurred because cars were left unlocked in driveways.
A police statement read “whilst you are all doing the right thing and staying home, please be aware there are others who are not. Please be vigilant over the long weekend and keep an eye out for yourselves and your neighbours. If you see anything suspicious, call 000 immediately.”
