Group of Dads band together to prevent youth crime in Melbourne’s south-east

A group of Dads in the Malvern area have formed a watch group in response to the rising amount of crime in their area.

Spokesperson for the Dad’s Army Tim McDonald says they realised they needed to do something after one offender broke into one of the Dad’s houses through his four-year-old child’s bedroom window.

“The frequency is getting more and more severe, it’s multiple times a week and there’s no police patrolling the streets,” he told Jacqui Felgate.
