TWO 17-year-olds walking to the bus in Sutton St, Chelsea Heights last week, were robbed by a large man brandishing a tyre iron. The 195cm tall man, described as having dark skin and black crinkly hair, was standing behind his car. When the boys, from Mordialloc, approached he opened the boot and brought out the tyre iron and demanded their belongings. The victim gave the man $5 but he also took his iPhone valued at $200. Anyone with information is urged to call Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Cashman, of Moorabbin police, 9556 6111.
River plunge charges A HIGHETT man who drove his car into the Patterson River at Bonbeach last week is facing charges of burglary, attempted burglary, possession of cannabis and a range of traffic matters following the incident.

Casting fun for all SOMETHING fishy was going down at Mordialloc Pier and Patterson River at the weekend. Crowds of keen anglers hooked up to an enjoyable stint of fishing at part of the National Gone Fishing Day hosted by the Victorian Fisheries Authority. Vic Fish ambassador Rex Hunt, former Richmond Tigers premiership footy player and fishing and wildlife TV show presenter, joined families casting a line hoping to land a catch. Children were taught to cast, tie knots and know what to do with a fish when it’s caught as part of fishing clinics on the day. The Future Fish Foundation hosted its annual Mates Day the same day (Sunday 15 October) for people with disabilities to have a fun day out fishing at Carrum’s Launching Place on Patterson River.
