Officers visit Shopping Centre twice in one night

Police officers attended the Hampton Park Shopping Centre twice within hours on Wednesday 31 August following alerts from the public.

Officers first attended the Shopping Centre car park around 8.20pm and spoke with a large group of people but no offences were detected, police say.

Police later re-attended the location following reports of hoon activity about 9.25pm.

Officers observed up to 200 cars and motorbikes, some of which were performing burnouts and other illegal activity, before they quickly dispersed, police say.

Police are seeking to identify vehicles and persons involved and are keen to speak to anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at crimestoppersvic.com.au
