It is time for the first Melbourne Express brainteaser of 2017. 

Can you solve this death-defying conundrum? 

Artist Jamie Brown has done a fantastic job on this one. 

Send me an email or a tweet if you have figured out how Captain Justice survived the ordeal unscathed, or if you would like a hint. The first in with the answer gets the bragging rights (one of these days I will get around to actually organising a prize). 

I'll post up the answer at 9am, along with the answer to today's Mystery Melbourne pic.

Police are searching for five people who broke into an unfinished adventure park in the state's north east, started a 10-tonne roller machine and drove it around the park:

The wild joy ride destroyed the garden beds surrounding the park.

Police believe the offenders climbed the fence of the park's construction area, located near Bridge Street West, sometime between 8pm last Wednesday and 8.30am on Thursday.

Investigators have released images of people they wish to talk to about the break-in.

They are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

There are delays of up to 15 minutes on the Belgrave line between Belgrave and Ringwood at the moment.

The delays have been caused by an earlier level crossing equipment fault and have knocked the timetable out of whack.

Metro is warning that trains may be altered or cancelled at short notice as they work to get everything back on  the timetable. 

In addition, buses are replacing trains between Box Hill and Blackburn at the moment because of level crossing removal works.

Two motorcyclists are in hospital with serious injuries after a car braked suddenly in Wyndham Vale, causing them to slam into the back of it. 

The motorcyclist and their pillion passenger were thrown from their bike, but the people in the car just drove off afterwards.

The crash happened on Ballan Road in Wyndham Vale about 6pm, involving the motorcycle and a blue Ford.  

The motorcycle rider and pillion passenger collided with the back of a red Ford focus and were thrown from the motorcycle.

The two riders received serious injuries and were transported to hospital.

Police are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

It is already rather warm outside - the temperature is sitting at 18 degrees already. 

We're in for a warm one in Melbourne today, but it is not as scorching as the earlier forecasts predicted. The bureau is tipping a top of 34 today, however a few days ago there were concerns it could reach 38 today. 

But it could be a bad day for fires, with emergency services expecting their worst conditions so far this season. A total fire ban has declared for the entire state.

There is a chance of a cool change later in the evening if some showers develop later.

The next couple of days should be a bit cooler. Photo: Craig Butt

The Melbourne Express blog is back for 2017. 

In case this is your first time here, the Melbourne Express is a daily liveblog that keeps track of Melbourne breaking news, weather, traffic and trains. It also links to some of the most interesting stories on The Age website and elsewhere on the Internet.

I also like to work some fun diversions into the blog, and will be putting up a brainteaser at 7am this morning. I also like to start the blog with a Mystery Melbourne photo. Can you guess where this photo was taken? 

If something interesting happens on your commute this morning or if you have  something to share, send me an email or a tweet (@CraigDButt)
