Melbourne has been branded the “most leavable city” after the state’s crime crisis was highlighted by another “night of terror”.

Eleven firebombings, ram raids and shootings have occurred in the Victorian capital since the start of the week, with the latest incident being a drive-by shooting in Melbourne’s north-west.

Four shots were fired into an Essendon North café at about 2.45am on Friday, with CCTV footage showing the bullets smashing through a glass barrier as a white Toyota Kluger drives past.

Police on patrol observed the shooting, sparking a pursuit by Victoria Police’s Air Wing.

After tracking the vehicle to Mahon Court in Taylors Lakes, police witnessed two individuals exit the vehicle before running into a property on Old Calder Highway.

Police then arrested two men, aged 18 and 20.

Café owner Raymond Yacoub said he was glad police had arrested the men but he had no idea why his business was targeted.

“In 18 years I’ve never had any issues,” he said.

“To wake up to a call from a staff member saying we can’t operate today, it’s terrible.”

Victorian Liberal MP Evan Mulholland said the incident was another example of the state’s crime crisis.

“We’ve seen another night of terror on our streets,” Mr Mulholland said.

“We have seen 11 firebombings, ram raids, or shootings since the start of this week, and we’ve got a premier in hiding.

“It doesn’t have to be this way.”

When it was put to the MP that Melbourne has been ranked the world’s third most liveable city, Mr Mulholland said the label was no longer accurate.

“It’s the most leavable city, to be honest,” he said, adding that incidents like the Essendon North shooting affected small business owners and families alike.

“It’s a nightmare for many families.

“I’m going to the reopening, in a couple of weeks, of a cafe that was firebombed in Melbourne’s north. They’ve been out for over a year… not earning any income from their business.

“That’s affecting families, that’s affecting people that were employed by that business.

“It’s not just the owners, it’s the workers as well that are suffering under this government, under the lawlessness that has been created under the premier’s watch.

“Victoria needs a fresh start. It’s not getting it under Jacinta Allan and Labor, who have failed at every turn.”
