Western Metropolitan Region
Trung LUU (Western Metropolitan) (14:22): (757) My constituency question is for the Minister for Police regarding the safety of my constituents in Wyndham. What I am particularly alarmed about with this matter is the continuation of repeat break-in attacks on my constituent Mr Nguyen and his home. Mr Nguyen and his family no longer feel safe, having experienced three brutal attacks on his home by the same offender. Could the minister please update my constituent on what is being done to keep his family safe? There is no restraining order, and from the recurrence of violent attacks there appear to be no bail conditions. If there are, they are not protecting him. It first happened on 17 August. The offender broke into his home and was arrested and was sentenced to a 12-month community correction order. On 16 January this year the same offender broke in again with a wooden pole and stole jewellery. The offender was arrested the following day and released on bail. On 8 March the same offender reattended whilst on bail, broke in, was arrested and was again released on bail. Can the minister please update my constituent on what is being done to make him feel safe?
