The most recent theft was two weeks ago with several garden ornaments from the front yard of some of the residents’ homes among the items that were stolen.

The incidents have all taken place while the victims have been asleep at night, with at least five units that are part of the facility targeted during the recent attacks.

A meeting is scheduled for later this week between the residents and facility management, with residents worried that it may continue without increased security.

Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen any suspicious people or activities around the Patrick Street facility or surrounding areas, including William Street and Oregan Street within the past few weeks to contact Senior Constable Nathaniel Warren at the Stawell police station on 5358 8222 or Crime Stoppers.
