In response to recent reported vehicle related stealing offences, police from the Inner West Patrol Group have commenced conducting pro-active community engagement and awareness operations within the affected areas.
On Wednesday October 8, Police conducted a ‘Lock it or Lose It’ inspection of 200 vehicles parked within The Gap and Mitchelton retail areas.
