It started with a single nightclub attack and escalated into what’s been dubbed Melbourne’s hospitality crime war.

More than 30 clubs, pubs and restaurants have now been targeted in drive-by shootings, break-ins and firebombings. And while dozens of arrests have now been made, the people behind the attacks remain a mystery.
