Stolen vehicle alert, July 4

In the past, many vehicles have been taken while the victims were at home.
Keys, mobile phones and cash were also stolen after thieves allegedly gained entry to homes and easily located car keys in plain view.
Police advise that residents should secure their homes and vehicles to avoid opportunistic thefts. Hiding car keys and valuables will make it difficult for offenders to steal your vehicle and other property.
Ask yourself: “Where are my car keys?”
If you can, secure your car in a garage or park your vehicle inside of your yard rather than on the street. This will also assist in the prevention of number plates being stolen.

A lovely start to NAIDOC Week

It was Yamanto Police Station’s privilege to host a flag raising ceremony this morning in honour of the commencement of NAIDOC Week.
Inspector Mel Adams chaired the function and introduced our distinguished guests from the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, as well as local politicians, Council, and the police community.
Uncle Val Brown and Aunty Rhonda Collard-Spratt gave beautiful renditions of  Amazing Grace and Mother’s Eyes.  Parts of Amazing Grace were sung in a native language, which is exactly what this year’s NAIDOC week is all about.
The theme of NAIDOC Week 2017, Our Languages Matter, encompasses the importance of remembering and passing down language to the next generation.  It’s a reminder to talk to your grandparents, parents, aunties and uncles about your language and culture. Learn as much as you can from them. Preserve it. There is a great concern that all of these amazing languages will be lost if we
