Charges following Operation Afectar

One man has been charged following a major anti-hoon operation this morning, Victoria Police say.

Early morning warrants were executed in suburbs including Craigieburn, Dallas, Meadow Heights, Reservoir, Coburg and Mill Park.

Four people were arrested and four cars were seized.

A 28-year-old Coburg man was charged with conduct endangering life and bailed to appear in court at a later date.

A 22-year-old Coburg man, 18-year-old Campbellfield man and a 20-year-old Bundoora man have all been interviewed and released pending summons.

The covert Taskforce Afectar was set-up earlier this year in response to the increasing number of hoon gatherings across the north-western suburbs of Melbourne.

The taskforce, comprising of a team of detectives, highway patrol members and intelligence officers, works to disrupt gatherings and build an intelligence picture of hoon activities.
