Police patrol Rage on the road A CYCLIST in Nepean Hwy, Chelsea, says he was almost knocked down by a van driver who then drove off, 10.30am, Saturday 17 September. The Cranbourne South man, 51, says he was waiting at the lights at Maury Rd when the van drove up close beside him and struck his right hip. The cyclist gesticulated to the van driver, a 50-year-old Beaumaris man, who gestured to him to move over. Police allege that, when the lights turned green, the van driver deliberately swerved into the cyclist, causing cuts and extensive bruising to his right arm. Witnesses confirmed the cyclist’s account of the incident and police interviewed the van driver later that day. He is expected to be charged on summons with reckless conduct endangering serious injury.
Shop theft, bail breach counts TWO youths who allegedly stole liquor and graffiti-sprayed buses and cars in Mentone were later found to be on bail for more serious offences. The oldest of the pair, 16, of Cheltenham, allegedly stole an energy drink from Coles, 4.30pm, Tuesday 13 September. Later, he and a 13-year-old boy allegedly stole vodka from a Duncan’s outlet and wine from a BWS outlet in Mentone. On a bus to Mentone station the teens allegedly scrawled the graffiti along the inside and outside windows. When they attempted to mark a car parked at the station two men got out to grab them. PSOs intervened and the boys were arrested and taken to Moorabbin police station for questioning.
There, the older boy was found to be on bail on attempted robbery and unlawful assault charges; the younger boy on bail for contravening a family violence order, criminal damage and unlawful assault. Police allege the younger boy used an unknown implement to scratch graffiti into the peep hole of the interview room. Both boys have again been bailed to appear at children’s courts at later dates charged with dishonestly assisting in the disposal of stolen goods and breaching their bail conditions.
Failed armed robbery
TRANSIT Crime Unit detectives are investigating an attempted armed robbery on a 20-year-old man outside the Cheltenham station earlier this month. As the man got off the train and was walking down the ramp towards Charman Rd he was approached by a man who demanded his wallet, 4am, Sunday 4 September. The victim refused and the man pulled out a knife – but did not get the man’s wallet. He then got into a taxi and was driven to the Brighton area. Police have released images of a man they believe can assist with their inquiries. He is of Middle Eastern appearance, aged about 20, 173cm tall and of medium build. He was wearing a grey hoodie, baseball cap, blue tracksuit pants, blue Asics runners and carrying a black/grey bum bag over his shoulders. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to crimestoppersvic.com.au
