7NEWS: Breaking Point > A must-see investigative series – Breaking Point: the lawless youth terrorising Melbourne. Five nights, five investigations, only on 7NEWS.
Melburnians are at breaking point as the alarming surge in home invasions and violent street crimes leaves victims angry, police frustrated and the court system under fire.
How did it come to this, and what is being done to make the city’s streets safer? This must-see, exclusive 7NEWS five-part series, starting Monday night at 6.00 on Seven and 7plus, will seek to give the community answers – and hope – as it investigates the escalating crisis, the impact on residents and police, and the urgent calls for bail and sentencing reform.
Led by veteran correspondent and 7NEWS Melbourne anchor Mike Amor, the series will go inside the crimes spreading fear through the suburbs – from car thefts and senseless machete attacks to the issues driving this new generation of youth to offend.
Airing across five consecutive nights, each exclusive report will explore another layer of the crisis, featuring confronting first-hand accounts from victims, rare access to frontline cops, and candid interviews with authorities and policymakers including Victorian Police Chief Commissioner Mike Bush, exploring potential solutions to a problem many say is out of control.
Amor said: “I’ve been reporting for 7NEWS for 30 years, much of that time as a foreign correspondent covering some deeply troubling stories. But nothing is more concerning than reporting on a new story every night about the rise in crime right here in Melbourne.”
7NEWS Melbourne’s News Director, Chris Salter, said:
“As a news service, it’s essential for 7NEWS Melbourne to ask the tough questions and get real answers. The surge in crime across the city is unprecedented, and our community deserves reassurance.”
The investigative series begins tomorrow night with Amor and 7NEWS cameras riding along with Victoria Police on overnight patrol, showing the confronting reality of what officer’s face on Melbourne’s streets every night.
