Victoria Police intensified efforts Friday to combat escalating firebombings and shootings targeting tobacco outlets and nightclubs across Melbourne. Detective Superintendent Jason Kelly described criminal operations as a "service industry" with leaders using encrypted apps to coordinate attacks remotely. The violence, linked to taxation gaps between legal and black markets, threatens public safety and the hospitality sector's viability.
