Melbourne nursing homes under police guard after drive-by shooting
At least seven Melbourne aged care homes under police guard after threat against Arcare businesses
Police are guarding at least seven aged care homes across Melbourne after a drive-by shooting at an Arcare facility in Maidstone last week. The attack, which saw approximately 10 shots fired, has prompted special protection measures, including armed police patrols; Arcare has also employed private security guards at some homes. Three anonymous sources have linked the Finks outlaw motorcycle gang to the violence, which follows the firebombing of Pitard’s Brighton mansion in October.
