Crime Up 7% in City of Frankston under Labor

South Eastern Metro MP, Inga Peulich has slammed the Andrews Labor Government for a 7.34% surge in crime in
the City of Frankston since taking office in December 2014.

Public crime statistics reveal there were record 15,826 offences reported in the City of Frankston for the year ending
June 2017 compared to 14,744 in December 2014; a 1082 increase in offences since the election of the Andrews
Labor Government.

Crime in the City of Frankston has increased 7% under the Andrews Labor Government since they took office. Ms
Peulich said.

The rise follows a 200% rise in blackmail, extortion and deception offences, a 111.86% jump in public nuisance
offences, a 87.5% rise in property damage offences, 79.75% hike in robbery, 67.09% increase in aggravated burglary
and a 62.29% jump in receiving or handling stolen goods, since the election of the Andrews Labor government.

Daniel Andrews has abandoned community safety and presided over a 7% increase in crime in the City of Frankston
this isnt just a crime wave, it is a crime tsunami, Ms Peulich said.

Under Daniel Andrews our justice system is in crisis due to weak sentencing, watered down bail laws, repeal of
move on laws, cuts to frontline police and closure of police stations.

Ms Peulich said that these figures are undeniable proof that crime is completely out of control in the City of
Frankston under Labor.

Daniel Andrews promised to smash the violent youth gangs running rampant across our state, but these statistics
prove he hasnt even made a dent, Ms Peulich said.

Frankstons crime tsunami is completely out of control and Daniel Andrews has no solutions to fix it.

The culture of lawlessness in the City of Frankston under Daniel Andrews must end.
