Inscriptions & markings

Police have denied a significent rise in Maroondah crime figures is related to the introduction of poker machines in the area. The denial comes in spite of an upsurge in crimes of deception and theft in Maroondah during 1996. Ringwood Senior Detective Glenn Powell last week said there had been "a few minor cases but nothing major in terms of gambling related crime".
