Two Ferraris torched A VALUABLE Ferrari found torched in Frankston, Monday, was the second stolen from a Braeside mechanics’ workshop last week. Emergency services were called to Jolly St just before 6.30am where they found the 1986 red 328 Ferrari – valued at $100,000 – fully alight. On Saturday, a 1972 red Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona – one of only four in Australia and valued at over $2 million – was found burnt out in Gum Hill Dr, Langwarrin. The car was owned by a Melbourne restaurateur who bought it in the UK five years ago. Previous owners include Princess Diana’s boyfriend Dodi Fayed and rock band Pink Floyd’s former lead singer Roger Waters. It was in the garage for minor repairs after the Motorclassica exhibition in Melbourne and had only been fully restored for three weeks. Fire
crews extinguished the blaze but the car was destroyed. Kingston Crime Investigation Unit detectives investigating the theft of the two luxury marques say the thieves rammed a roller door to gain entry to the Industrial St workshop about 3.40am Friday. Somerville Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas was mystified by the senseless crime. “You wonder what goes through the thieves’ heads,” he said. “To destroy something as valuable as these cars in both an historical and material sense just goes against any logic.” Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au or call Kingston police on 9556 6565.

Car hijacked, crashed A 47-YEAR-old Patterson Lakes woman had her car hijacked at the Chelsea shopping centre, 7.50am, Saturday. The woman was sitting in her 2005 Honda CRV in Nepean Hwy talking on her mobile phone when a man opened the driver’s side door and ordered her out. The man, 29, later found to be of no fixed address, got in and drove off erratically. He later crashed the car into another at the intersection of Springvale and Pillars roads, Bangholme, and, when people stopped to help, he jumped into a car owned by a 63-year-old Bangholme man and crashed that one, too. By this time police had arrived and arrested the man, who is also suspected of being involved in armed robberies in Keysborough and Cheltenham. A man fitting his description reportedly entered a pharmacy on the corner of Centre Dandenong and Warrigal roads, 7pm, Tuesday 3 November, and produced a large knife. The man demanded, and received, prescription drugs from a 23-year-old shop assistant. He has been remanded in custody until all charges have been finalised and will appear at court at a later date.
Drugs crop fire POLICE and fire services attended a house fire in Marriot St, Parkdale, 6.40am, Tuesday 3 November, and found a hydroponic cannabis crop, fire arms and drug paraphernalia, with power being illegally syphoned from the grid. The rented house was vacant when police arrived and the fire caused a “moderate” amount of damage. Police are still searching for the occupant. Anyone with information is asked to call Kingston police on 9556 6565.
Panic room A 27-YEAR-old woman locked herself in her bedroom when she heard men ransacking her Curlew Point Dr, Patterson Lakes, house 5.47am, Tuesday 3 November. Terrified, the woman texted her partner, who was on his way to work, asking him to call police. The pair had only moved into the two-storey brick veneer house five days before. The woman told police she heard the offenders knock on the front door but did not answer. They then walked around the side of the house and
entered via an unlocked sliding door. Once inside, she heard them opening doors and ransacking rooms over a 20-minute period, stealing a handbag containing credit cards, licence, document wallet with personal information and passport. They also stole a flat screen TV, tablet computer, set of house keys, and garage door opener. They locked a kitten in a spare room, and left via the front door. Police later advised the woman to cancel her credit cards and query transactions. Anyone with information is asked to call Kingston police on 9556 6565.

Game interrupted
A 51-YEAR-old Carrum man had his Cup Day game of bowls ruined when a neighbour arrived to tell him his house, in Valetta St, had been burgled. The man’s 13 year old son had come home to find his dad’s bedroom ransacked and items removed and reported it to the neighbour. Police were told an old .22 calibre rifle, handed down by the man’s grandfather and hidden in a towel, was stolen, along with an antique gun cigarette lighter from the lounge room. Antique coffee tins had been opened and thrown out on the courtyard lawn. A manhole cover in the laundry had also been opened and the roof cavity searched. Doors on the lounge room, second bedroom and laundry had been hit with a hammer. An egg had been thrown at the man’s car. A 12-year-old Seaford boy will appear at a children’s court at a later date charged with burglary. It is not known if the items were recovered.
