Police Report Sgt Janet Gleeson, Officer In Charge, Winchelsea Police Station Hello to the community, As the weather starts to improve, we will see the construction workers back at it along the Princes Highway. We shall also see an increase in road users as the summer and holidays approach us. We are requesting for drivers to be Patient and Courteous whilst driving particularly along the construction works. We are continually intercepting and booking motorists who are being impatient and ignoring the speed zones. Police will be out in force and will be booking motorists who refuse to adhere to the road rules. Please lets all take a breath and slow down... Could I also please encourage people to secure all sheds and properties. We are having an increase report of items being stolen from sheds. With people out starting to Christmas shop and farmers busy out with silage/hay season, this could be an opportunity for undesirable’s. If you happen to see any vehicles or strange people around your property please report the matter. Please ensure you have secured your property. Lock up when you leave. Little Nibbler Can you identify this bug? This photo shows a small bug which has decimated a gum-tree, eating nearly all of its leaves. Do you know what this bug is? Do you know how to get rid of it? Around 5mm long, triangular body shape with pale stripes across, it moves fast and likes to hide on the underside of a twig (even if you turn it over).
