Police patrol
Gun was ‘child’s play’
Stabbing may be drug related
A MAN was arrested in Carrum after allegedly being found by police with an imitation handgun wrapped in a black balaclava hidden under his car’s front seat. He later told police he used the items to play “cops and robbers” with his young son. Chelsea uniform police had earlier approached a car in the Stephens St car park, 4.30am, Saturday, with five men inside. The man, 32, allowed police to search the car and admitted to owning the silver coloured cap gun and balaclava with red skull print. He was arrested and taken to Chelsea Police Station where he was charged and bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in May.
A FIGHT in Parkdale over a possible drug debt at 10.25pm, Tuesday, led to a man being stabbed several times. Police said three Parkdale men were outside a Blanche Av house when a heated argument began over the alleged debt. One of the men produced a knife and allegedly stabbed the victim several times, causing minor wounds and abrasions. Neighbours called police who arrested the alleged assailant and took him to Moorabbin police station. He was charged with intentionally causing injury and released pending summons. Ambulance officers treated the victim in Rupert St, Parkdale.
Night out ruined A PATTERSON Lakes man was assaulted after a night out in Chelsea Heights and left with facial injuries and a possible fracture of his right arm. The man, 25, told police he and a few friends enjoyed a night drinking and dancing at a local hotel, Saturday night. At some stage he noticed his friend involved in a “bit of pushing and shoving” on the dance floor and intervened. At 2am he left on his own and walked to a nearby takeaway in Wells Rd, but was attacked and hit to the forehead with a metal pole, causing him to fall head first onto the footpath where he lost consciousness. He came to across the road in a bus shelter where his friends were assisting him. His father arrived and took him to Frankston Hospital where he was treated for substantial swelling and bruising and given a brain scan. X-rays confirmed the fracture. Police are searching for two men of southern European appearance with tan complexions, aged in their mid-20s, thin build, one short, wearing a red jumper tied around his shoulders, the other around 183cm tall. Anyone with information should call Frankston police, 9784 5555.
Bogged on the tracks A SEAFORD man was lucky to escape serious injury when his car became bogged on the railway tracks near Carrum Train Station. The 25 year old was driving south along Nepean Hwy, 3.25am, Sunday, when he turned left at a traffic crossing. Instead of turning into Station St he drove left onto the tracks and became bogged in the heavy gravel. Police alerted Metro Trains which stopped approaching trains, and replacement buses were activated between Mordialloc and Frankston. The car was towed off the tracks. Alcohol was not a factor.
Scales of justice POLICE allegedly found small scales and green vegetable matter in a backpack in a car, Governor Rd, Braeside, 2am, Sunday. They say plastic bags in the car’s first-aid kit contained the drug ice, as well as dealing bags and a knife. Later, police say they found $1500 – all in $50 notes – in the driver’s clothing while he was being interviewed at Moorabbin police station. The man, 31, was charged with trafficking amphetamines and remanded to appear at Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court at a later date.

Ram raid
FANTASTIC DEALS ON ALL ROLLER BLINDS
A DINGLEY Village man awoke when a white Holden ute with two men aboard reversed up his driveway and rammed into his garage door, 2.35am, Tuesday. The victim, 53, of Harrier Ct, confronted one of the men before the ute reversed into him, and he ended up in the tray. The man jumped out as the ute drove off and then tackled the driver of another car – a white 4X4 ute – grabbing him around the neck. That car did a hasty U-turn on the nature strip, damaging a fence and narrowly missing neighbours’ cars, and drove off. The man suffered a possible torn Achilles and cuts to the lower back in the incident and was taken to Dandenong hospital for treatment. He said motorbikes previously stored in the garage were a possible target. The three men are described as Caucasian and aged about 27. The white 4X4, previously stolen, was found burnt-out at the Five Ways Bvd/ Springvale Rd intersection, Keysborough, 2.56am. Anyone with information should call Kingston police, 9556 6565.
