Police fear for public after Melbourne shootings


Police have admitted having safety fears for residents in Melbourne's north after a spate of shootings linked to an escalating war between rival families.

Acting Superintendent Stephen Mutton said there are additional police in the suburbs of Coolaroo and Glenroy, where six shootings have taken place in the past ten days, to ensure the public's safety.

"We have great concerns for the safety of the public, we want to make sure they are safe," he said.

Acting Sup Mutton appealed for anyone who may be able to help with the case to come forward, and added "every little bit of information" could aid the police investigations.

He said officers are searching for several vehicles used in drive-by shootings.

"We have a number of target vehicles that we've identified, we are going to continue to pull over and search these vehicles until we start apprehending some offenders," Acting Sup Mutton said.

The police revelations come as a patriarch of the family at the centre of the feud labelled Australia a "s--t country" as he hit out over the lack of police protection being afforded to his family.

Abdul Tiba, whose home in Coolaroo has been targeted in numerous attacks, said the police were not interested in saving his family, the Herald Sun reported.

"No one helps me in this country," he said.

After the second attack on his home last week, where the house was sprayed with bullets, Mr Tibia has been forced to live in his car despite being in poor health. Mr Tibia told the Melbourne newspaper he thought he would be lucky to survive the increasingly violent gang war.

Earlier in the day a gold Mercedes-Benz police believe was involved in a drive-by shooting ten days ago was found abandoned on Barry Rd, Coolaroo.

The vehicle matches a description of a car from where shots were fired at a black sedan on Sunday June 19, on Pascoe Vale road, in Glenroy.

No one was hurt in the shootings.

Police were unable to make arrests after both drivers fled the scene.

Another lie perpetuated by both the government and mass media.

Initial reports on the story indicated that the police have no idea, BUT the public should NOT be worried. This was mentioned in the news outlets on 29th Jun 2011.

Now the reports are totally different, and the Police claim, the public is at risk.

Similarly with Melbourne's well documented gangland killings, this is a turf war that the migrant middle eastern gangs are fighting over.

The police are fully aware of the operatives, BUT the policy is for 'them' (the gangs) to sort (kill) themselves out.

This is a verbose policy within the force, BUT no media outlet reports on this.

Once again when the killings spill out into the public eye, the police have to be 'seen' as doing something.

This is NOT an isolated incident, and the police know of the operatives, but have done NOTHING for years.

The government has imported many of these criminals and put them into ghetto's, which at the end of the day hold the community at large to ransom of these criminal gangs.

This is a deliberate government failure.
