PATROLS of the Bentley Community Centre have been increased following allegations of antisocial behaviour and vehicle break-ins at the carpark.

“The CCTV unit has been used in this location previously but circulates to hotspots throughout the City to deter criminal behaviour.”
He said the Bentley Community Centre is utilised by a Russian school twice a week.
