The City of Darebin has indicated a massive crackdown on cars, proposing to remove all-day parking in streets within 400 metres of train stations on the Mernda and Hurstbridge line. Car parks will not be affected, however parking near these 11 stations between Northcote and Reservoir will now only be able for two-hours.

Using a crow bar to pry open the entrance of an independent Lego retailer last night, two thieves forced entry into the premises before emptying and destroying its shelves- and getting away with almost $30,000 worth of Lego.
