UPDATE: Three men have been charged in connection with a series of break-ins, including a daring burglary at the Glenrowan solar farm on September 10. Authorities confirm the suspects face multiple charges, including burglary, theft, and drug offenses, as law enforcement ramps up efforts to combat rising crime in the area.
The trio allegedly infiltrated the sprawling solar site, located next to the busy Hume Highway, stealing a range of tools. This incident is part of a broader pattern of theft, as the same suspects are believed to have targeted a Yarrawonga council depot and a local business that same night, making off with additional power tools.
These three men are scheduled to appear in Wangaratta court on November 10 as the investigation unfolds. This case highlights a troubling trend, with local authorities on high alert following a string of similar crimes.
In a related development, Border police are investigating an alarming series of car fires, with six incidents reported between September 24 and September 30. The timing and frequency of these fires have raised concerns in the community, prompting officials to seek public assistance in gathering information.
In another case, a woman accused of an unprovoked attack on a 62-year-old stranger outside a Wodonga pub has been removed from court due to being deemed unfit to participate in her bail application. This incident adds to the sense of urgency for local law enforcement as they strive to restore safety and security in the region.
Residents and local business owners are urged to stay vigilant as authorities continue to investigate these incidents. The community’s safety is paramount, and officials are calling for anyone with information to come forward.
