Summary
Melbourne cops are on a warpath against organized crime after raiding seven spots linked to a wave of violent attacks on bars and clubs — including arson, kidnappings, and drive-bys. Operation Eclipse, launched in April, targets top-tier criminals behind at least 35 incidents, with over 65 arrests and 350+ charges already filed. Authorities seized a tomahawk, cash, steroids, illegal tobacco, and dozens of devices to crack the network. Two men recently charged — one for weapon and drug offenses plus failing to hand over a passcode, the other for withholding a passcode — are awaiting court dates. With dozens of investigators deep in analysis, police are zeroing in on the masterminds behind the chaos, determined to dismantle the operation before more harm strikes.
