Disgusting act at Remembrance Day shrine at Dandenong, Victoria

A shocking act of apparent vandalism has besmirched one of Australia’s Remembrance Day sites.

A photo from the Dandenong Remembrance Day shrine shows flowers and wreaths ripped up.

3AW’s “Rumour File” reported on the alleged act of desecration on Tuesday.

“Rumour has it, as one southeastern suburb’s Remembrance Day site, the mood was soured by the destruction of wreaths and the ripping up of flowers by the afternoon,” a caller tells 3AW Breakfast With Ross and Russel.

“Mindless vandalism as far as I can tell.”

The alleged vandalism took place on Monday.

November 11 marks the signing of the armistice agreement that ended World War 1 on November 11, 1918.

Victoria Police told NewsWire said it was investigating the incident.

“Police are investigating damage at the Pillars of Freedom Shrine on Clow Street in Dandenong on November 11,” a Victoria Police spokeswoman said.

“It is believed the offender or offenders have destroyed around 50 wreaths laid at the site for Remembrance Day.

“The investigation remains ongoing.”
