They said it: The best of 2017 quotes

As 2017 draws to a close, the Cranbourne News reflects on some of the best quotes to make headlines this year.
1) “We’ve lost the battle”
Then Mayor Sam Aziz’s reaction to the official crime statistics that revealed Casey’s crime rate had soared during 2016.

2) “There are no words to describe someone who could do this. Especially to an elderly lady, who lives alone, who is vulnerable; to steal something so sentimental…”

Detective Senior Constable Michelle Chiang was left speechless after thieves stole two sets of priceless war medals from an elderly women’s home while she was in hospital.

3) “It takes away the worry and while the operation hasn’t been precarious, this takes the pressure off and means one less grant you have to apply for.”
Treasurer of the Cranbourne Food truck Chris Marsh appreciates the generous donation from the Casey Cardinia Foundation Community Grants Program.
