Following a disruptive incident involving a group of teenagers, the Woolworths store in Mordialloc has temporarily closed its doors. The closure will remain in effect until further notice.

In a separate occurrence, police reported that a 13-year-old girl was allegedly attacked by two females near a public restroom close to the Mordialloc pier. A man in his 50s intervened, successfully putting an end to the assault.

In response to these events, Allan emphasized the need for a unified stance against such behavior, stating, “We all need to send a clear message, whether you’re a parent, a premier, a teacher, or a member of the community, that this is just unacceptable.”

The number of offences was 640,860, up 10.8 per cent from 578,189 the previous year.
