Buying or selling online? 🖥️⁣ ⁣ Special zones where you can exchange items safely are being established at 35 police stations across Victoria from this week.⁣ ⁣ A safer alternative to meeting strangers at your home or a park, Safer Exchange Sites are:⁣ ✔ based outside 24-hour police stations⁣ ✔ in well-lit areas⁣ ✔ monitored by CCTV.⁣ ⁣ The roll-out of these sites follows successful trials across Melbourne’s north-east in 2022. During the trial’s six-month evaluation period, thefts and robberies in the area from online sales decreased.⁣ ⁣ So next time you’re looking at a new set of jousting sticks or something to go under that fancy new patio, organise to meet up at your local Safer Exchange Site.⁣ ⁣ Find your nearest one and more information via our link in bio 🔗 ⁣ #marketplace #saferexchangesites #onlineshopping #communitysafety #policestation #buyswapandsell⁣
