Horsham Town Hall security breach
Horsham police are investigating an alleged security breach at the Horsham Town Hall.
“Council can confirm that we are working with Victoria Police in their investigation of an alleged security breach at Horsham Town Hall," Horsham Rural City Council mayor Brian Klowss said.
“The council became aware of the alleged breach on April 1 and immediately reported the matter to VicPol. VicPol launched an investigation, including an inspection of the Horsham Town Hall, on the same day.
“We are very aware this development may be concerning and distressing to our staff and members of our community, particularly anyone who has performed at, attended, or worked at Horsham Town Hall. We extend our sincere apologies to those people."
Cr Klowss said from the moment the council was made aware of the alleged incident, including securing the facility, while key areas within the Town Hall were checked and cleared by VicPol the same day they were notified.
Performances and events scheduled at the Town Hall were cancelled or rescheduled.
Ticket holders and affected patrons were contacted directly with updated arrangements, including rescheduled dates and next steps.
“Council is working closely with VicPol. As this mater is currently subject to an active investigation, we are limited in what we can say," Cr Klowss said.
