A racist sign on the window of a Melbourne milk bar says “black” teens are banned from going inside because they “steal things”.
The appalling note was left on the window of the store on Burleigh Rd, in Melton, in Melbourne’s west, and was sent to radio station 3AW.
As well as the teenagers, “dogs” were also banned from entry.
Social media has lit up with outrage. One person said: “Apparently only black people steal in Melton. What a disgrace!” while another had a warning for the shop owners.
“F***en idiots you watch their shop will get robbed twice as much now.”
Victoria Police said on Twitter they were aware of the sign. A police spokeswoman told news.com.au: “Victoria Police does not support the language of the poster and deems the message as inappropriate.”
