And that's a wrap from us on this cold, dreary winter morning.

There are crashes on major arterials and suburban roads across the city, and at least three pedestrians have been hit by cars this morning. We'll reiterate Ambulance Victoria's warning and urge you all to take extra care on the roads today.

Be sure to check back in today at theage.com.au for analysis on the crime stats released by Victoria Police this morning.

And it sounds like there will be plenty of action in Melbourne's court today, with cancer fraudster Belle Gibson due to front the Federal Court over her failure to pay fines.

Stay warm inside, and stay safe outdoors today. We'll see you tomorrow!
