A family of four have become the latest victims of what some are calling a crime spree in an affluent suburb, as a famous local slammed the Premier over the issue.
On Tuesday, former AFL WAG Rebecca Judd called out Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan after a home invasion in her well-heeled suburb left an elderly man fighting for his life.
This followed a shocking night of crime where another house in Brighton, 11km south-east of Melbourne's CBD, was broken into three times within five hours early Sunday which was all captured on CCTV.

By 6am, the brazen thieves were back with even more help to clear out the rest of the garage to steal a dirt bike, an e-scooter, adventure bike, golf clubs, a handbag and other expensive possessions.
