Content warning: The contents of this post discuss themes around sexual assault.

Do you understand and practise consent? Consent is not only important, but the law.

Victoria Police is committed to the safety of all, and no one should be the victim of violence or assault - in any form.

Affirmative consent puts the responsibility on each person to actively seek consent from the other people involved in any kind of sexual act.

Consent is an agreement between participants to engage in sexual activity. In Victoria, the law says both parties must freely agree to the sexual act for there to be consent. It also outlines circumstances in which someone is automatically considered unable to give consent.

We have dedicated specialist detectives who investigate all forms of sexual offences. To make a report, contact your local police station or Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team.

It is never too late to report an incident.

If you need support, please contact:
📞 1800RESPECT - 1800 737 732
📞 Sexual Assault Crisis Line - 1800 806 292
📞 Kids Helpline Official - 1800 55 1800

As always, if you or someone else is in immediate danger, call Triple Zero (000).

Detectives from VIPER Taskforce are appealing for information as part of their investigation into an incident where two people attempted to light a fire at a Docklands gelateria in January.

It’s believed two males forced their way into the Star Crescent business about 5am on Wednesday, 17 January.

After smashing the glass door, the pair poured accelerant from a jerry can on the floor and serving bench then attempted to light the liquid.

Despite a number of attempts, the liquid failed to ignite and the pair ran from the store.

Police are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or who may have information about those involved.

Detectives are also keen to speak to anyone who has information about the current whereabouts of the gold Hyundai and are asking members of the public to keep a look out for it.

They are releasing an image of it in the hope someone can provide information on the car’s current whereabouts.
