Special zones where you can exchange items safely are being established at 35 police stations across Victoria from this week.
A safer alternative to meeting strangers at your home or a park, Safer Exchange Sites are:
based outside 24-hour police stations in well-lit areas monitored by CCTV.The roll-out of these sites follows successful trials across Melbourne’s north-east in 2022. During the trial’s six-month evaluation period, thefts and robberies in the area from online sales decreased.
So next time you’re looking at a new set of jousting sticks or something to go under that fancy new patio, organise to meet up at your local Safer Exchange Site.
