The police crackdown came as Victoria tried to push its
image as a safe place to live in following the stabbing of the
21-year-old Indian.
The new laws allow police to search in a designated area
without a warrant.
Police found seven people carrying 12 weapons, including
knives, a machete and a knuckleduster, while another person
was found in possession of drugs during the three-hour
operation.

who was originally from north-Indian state of Punjab, died
after he was stabbed in West Footscray area of Melbourne. Garg
was stabbed to death while he was walking to restaurant chain
