Bec Judd claims she feels unsafe in her exclusive Melbourne suburb following spike in home invasions

Rebecca Judd has slammed Dan Andrews’ government for not doing enough to combat ‘rapes, bashings and home invasions’ in her posh suburb. 

The 39-year-old lives in a $7.3million mansion in Brighton in the city’s southeast with her husband, retired AFL star Chris Judd, and their four children. 

Ms Judd reposted CCTV footage of a group of young men lurking outside several properties in her affluent suburb and claimed it made her feel ‘unsafe’. 

The teenagers, who were allegedly armed with knives, were captured lurking outside several properties in the Bayside area before crashing a stolen BMW into a tree.

The mother-of-four said the state government ‘don’t seem to care’ about the recent spike in crime and said she felt unsafe in her Brighton mansion. 

‘So sick of the rapes, bashings and home invasions at the hands of the gangs in Bayside,’ Ms Judd wrote to Instagram on Thursday. 

‘I personally know two women who have experienced home invasions in Brighton in the last few weeks while they were at home.’ 

The 39-year-old’s home boasts a gym, a tennis court that can be turned into ‘a footy oval or cricket pitch’, and a magnesium salt pool.

There is also a spacious wet bar complete with a snooker table and a bar.

Liberal State MP James Newbury reposted the same CCTV footage and said invasions in his electorate were continuing. 

‘Enough is enough. The State Labor Government cannot keep ignoring our community,’ Mr Newbury said. 

Ms Judd then commented on the MP’s post: ‘Have these teens been charged yet or just another slap on the wrist?’

In a statement Victoria Police confirmed seven teenagers had been charged following a series of aggravated burglaries in Melbourne’s southeast. 

Officers were called to Chelsea Street in Brighton after a stolen car crashed into a tree at about 4am on Tuesday. 

One of the youths was knocked unconscious in the crash and remains in hospital under police guard.

‘One teenage boy was arrested at the scene and the other six were arrested nearby,’ police said. ‘Police seized a large kitchen knife and a flick knife during the arrests.’

Mr Newbury said women in his electorate could relate with Ms Judd’s sentiments, and blamed Labor for not doing enough to deter crime. 

‘I am getting inundated with people who are living in streets where these crimes have occurred,’ the MP told the Herald Sun. 

‘They’re coming across these gangs and being forced to barricade themselves in their bedrooms. 

‘The scary thing is Labor is only ever doing something when it’s on TV. It’s never proper fixes.’
