Footy WAG Bec Judd has once again unleashed on the Victorian government over its management of the wave of youth crime sweeping Melbourne’s most affluent suburbs.
The state’s crime crisis was back in the spotlight over the weekend, after multiple headlines reported that child offenders had been released on bail in Victoria.
Among them were five juveniles who were charged and later released after police began a high-speed car chase.
A 16-year-old boy was also accused of hitting a man with a baseball bat, but was released on bail for the third time in nine months.
Similarly, a 17-year-old with hundreds of previous charges was also arrested Saturday in the upscale suburb of Bayside on auto theft charges, but was released on bail within hours.

Bec was furious with the headlines and took to Instagram Stories to criticize the Victorian government.
‘And so it goes… and it goes…’ he wrote on Saturday alongside the news headlines.
Bec also responded to news of a violent home invasion in the luxury suburb of Beaumaris, just a stone’s throw from Bec’s $7.3 million Brighton mansion. The victim was admitted to the hospital.

Bec was angered by the headlines and took to Instagram Stories to criticize the Victorian government.
‘And another… I feel very sorry for the victim. “I know it’s typical to say this, but the system is truly broken,” Bec wrote.
Last week, a similar incident occurred at another home in Beaumaris when three offenders broke in at around 1.30am on Monday and assaulted a 74-year-old man.
The victim was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
“I know it’s typical to say this, but the system is truly broken,” Bec wrote. (Pictured of her with her husband Chris)
This is not the first time Rebecca has spoken publicly about her concerns regarding the recent rise in youth crime affecting Victoria.
In June 2022, Rebecca made headlines for saying she felt “unsafe” in her mansion, after a series of home break-ins in her area.
Posting on Instagram, the WAG claimed the Victorian government did not “seem to care” about the “rapes, assaults and home invasions by gangs in Bayside”.
In June 2022, Rebecca made headlines by saying she felt “unsafe” in her mansion, after a series of home break-ins in her area.
“I personally know two women who have suffered home invasions in Brighton in recent weeks while they were at home,” he said.
She also reposted CCTV footage of a group of youths lurking outside properties in her affluent suburb and claimed it made her feel “unsafe”.
The teenagers, who were allegedly armed with knives, were filmed loitering outside several properties in the Bayside area before crashing a stolen BMW into a tree.
In February the following year, Rebecca doubled down on her claim that Melbourne’s elite suburbs are under siege by criminals after a man’s luxury Mercedes was stolen with his dog still inside.
Most recently, Rebecca called on Allan to “fix the system” last month, following the alleged murder of Dr Ashley Gordon by two teenagers.
‘Same shit, different night. Yesterday the Queensland Government announced major changes to youth crime laws following community outrage. “It’s time for the Victorian government to do the same,” she wrote.
Most recently, Rebecca called on Allan to “fix the system” last month, following the alleged murder of Dr Ashley Gordon by two teenagers.
In a post on Instagram at the time, Rebecca said it was sad to see how broken the justice system had become and implored Allan to put criminals behind bars.
‘This story is very sad. The justice system is broken. Fix this Jacinta Allan. “Let this be her legacy,” she wrote alongside a report on Dr. Gordon’s death.
“Until the ‘prevention first’ strategy starts to work among teens (it could take years. It may never work!), it is necessary to keep the community safe by locking up violent offenders.”
