Victoria Police have issued another warning after a woman was pricked by a needle Monday morning.
The woman said she was stuck by a needle while gardening.
Police said the needle seemed to have been deliberately placed in a planter. The woman told officers the same thing had happened a week ago, when another needle pricked her while gardening.
The woman said the incident took place in the 700-block of Johnson Street.
