‘Every day we see the damage domestic violence brings upon communities, individuals and families,” New England Police District Commander Superintendent Scott Tanner said.
The Western Region DV High Risk Offender Team runs a fine-tooth comb over domestic violence offences to identify those most likely to reoffend.
“These are exactly the offenders Operation NO MORE are tasked to visit,” Superintendent Tanner said.
“Officers have been attending their homes, stopping them for roadside checks and ensuring the enforcement of bail and Apprehended Violence Orders (AVOs)”.
Since Monday 18 men and women have been arrested in relation to domestic violence offences.
A 27-year-old Inverell man was arrested on an outstanding warrant. Another 37-year-old man was arrested on an outstanding warrant, and was also charged with possession and supply of a prohibited drug.
Two Ashford men, aged 44 and 26 years old, were arrested on outstanding warrants. The younger man was also charged with contravene prohibition/restriction in AVO (Domestic).
Five Moree men, one Moree woman and one Boggabilla man were arrested on various charges including damaging property, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, steal from person and outstanding warrants.
Ten high risk offenders received home visits from the Western Region DV team and three motorcycles, suspected stolen, were also recovered from a Tingha residence.
“Domestic and family violence can involve many types of abuse. If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence call us now to get help – our officers are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Superintendent Tanner said.
Police warn that domestic, family and personal violence causes significant social and economic costs to communities and impacts all areas of society, regardless of location, socio-economic status, age, religious beliefs, culture and ethnic background.
