FRANKSTON railway station was targeted during a three-day police operation earlier this month.
Between 9 and 11 January, police dedicated more resources to Frankston, Lilydale, and Werribee train stations. They made seven arrests across the three days – a 35-year-old Frankston man was arrested for breaching an intervention order, and a 25-year-old Frankston North woman was arrested for theft.
The other arrests were a 26-year-old Knoxfield woman for breaching an intervention order, a 35-year-old Woori Yallock man for three outstanding warrants, a 33-year-old Benalla woman for theft, a 29-year-old Point Cook man for an outstanding whereabouts and theft, and a 41-year-old Newcomb man for two outstanding warrants.
Victoria Police transit safety division senior sergeant Anthony Murphy said “this highly visible operation was about boosting safety in and around several of our major public transport hubs – including Frankston Railway Station – and sending a clear message that crime will not be tolerated.”
“Our top priority is keeping the community safe so we will continue to run targeted operations like this to detect and deter offending,” he said.
