Police have raided two homes and charged two men with inciting protest activity as part of an investigation into a march planned for the Melbourne CBD on Saturday
The warning comes hours after a Melbourne man was charged with incitement following a prohibited gathering of anti-lockdown protesters in the city's north on Sunday.Another five people were issued with $1652 fines for breaching coronavirus restrictions and police said more infringements were expected to be issued in the next few days as investigations continue.
"We are urging these people for one moment to stop thinking about themselves and stop putting Victorians' lives at risk." Many of the anti-lockdown protesters on Sunday were spotted wearing Guy Fawkes masks, with flares being held aloft by the rowdy group. Those fined included a man sitting at a bus stop at Glen Waverly train station after curfew, telling police he went shopping and then to a friend's place.
