VICTORIA Police have made their first arrest using information gathered from the recently introduced STOPIT service, after an incident was reported on a train from Ballarat on Friday.

A 20-year-old man was arrested on Friday morning after a 22-year-old woman used STOPIT to report him for performing an explicit sexual act next to her while she was travelling on a city-bound train from Ballarat in July.
