MORNINGTON PENINSULA: McCrae landslide homes burgled
Burglars hit eight homes at the McCrae landslide site in the early hours of Friday (Feb. 14).
Police confirm that the thieves targeted the properties, which were evacuated after last month’s landslide.
Police have been ascertaining what was stolen during the burglaries, said to have occurred at about 3.30am. Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said the looting was “disappointing”.
Meanwhile, residents of eight properties impacted by the landslide will now be allowed to safely move back into their homes.
Emergency Orders were lifted at 2.50pm Friday following the installation of additional ground stability monitoring equipment on Wednesday (Feb. 12).
The specialised equipment, including Global Navigation Satellite Systems, tilt sensors and survey prisms, can provide ongoing stability monitoring over the entire area, giving greater certainty regarding safety and risk factors.
