ACT Policing has intensified its investigation into the alleged homophobic assaults of three men in Canberra, all of whom were targeted through the dating app Grindr in July. As part of their ongoing inquiries, police have executed five search warrants over the past two weeks, including in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and New South Wales. Although no arrests have been made, several electronic devices were seized, and police have questioned a number of individuals, described as “youths.” Grindr attacks raise safety concerns for the community. The incidents, which occurred in Denman Prospect and Red Hill, have raised concerns within the LGBTQ+ community about the safety of dating app users.
