Bellarine blitzes By Justin Flynn "Perceptions" of increasing crime and two road deaths so far this year have prompted dual police operations on the Bellarine Peninsula. Bellarine Police Senior Sergeant Adrian Bickley said the entire peninsula will benefit from an increased police presence, but Operation Satellite will focus on the smaller towns. "There have been some concerns from locals in the smaller towns such as St Leonards, Indented Head and Point Lonsdale that there has been an increase in crime," he told the
Voice. "While some towns on the Bellarine have had a small increase, others have had a decrease, but we will continue Operation Satellite until the end of the year. "We will have increased foot patrols and you will see us more often out and about. We will be very visible." Patrols of larger towns on the peninsula would also continue, Senior Sergeant Bickley said. Senior Sergeant Bickley said Operation Backroads would also be launched.
Operation Backroads will target routes that local drivers use to shorten trips or avoid detection. "We have had two deaths on our roads on the Bellarine this year and it's too many," Senior Sergeant Bickley said. "One is too many. We want everyone to know that if you take a back road or a short cut to get to wherever you are going, you may well just find a police car there. "If you are doing the wrong thing, going just that little bit faster to get to where you want to go, we will be there waiting.
"We just want people to get to where they are going safely. "An accident can affect more than just the person driving the vehicle. It can affect other occupants in the vehicle and the occupants of any other vehicles that may or may not be involved." Two people died in an accident at Mannerim in February. A passer-by found the victim's cars on fire in a paddock beside the road after the apparently collided after dark on PortarlingtonQueenscliff Rd.
