Summary

Melbourne is experiencing a wave of organised attacks on hospitality venues including pubs, clubs, strip clubs and bar owners' homes, with 34 incidents recorded and 35 offenders charged with 140 offences. Chief Commissioner Mike Bush has confirmed a serious organised crime group or network is behind the attacks, with Operation Eclipse now investigating the incidents. Police have noted that attacks on tobacco stores have largely ceased since the hospitality venues came under attack, and many offenders are young people with no criminal records who were offered rewards to carry out the crimes.
