Arrow assault at range AN Aspendale Gardens man was stabbed with an arrow during a heated confrontation at Moorabbin Archery Club at the weekend. A Cheltenham man, 22, was allegedly shooting arrows in a dangerous manner at the range, in Turner Rd, 10.30am, Sunday 21 May. A club official, 79, approached to give some advice, but the man became aggressive and abusive towards the volunteer, a life member of the club. The official stopped all target practice until the man left the field, which he did – but not before knocking the official’s hat off his head. Seeing this, a man in his 40s nearby tackled the offender and both went to the ground in a scuffle broken up by bystanders. The 22-year-old man allegedly grabbed an arrow from a quiver and lunged at the man in his 40s, striking him twice and causing minor wounds. Bystanders restrained the offender until police arrived. He was taken to Moorabbin police station for interview and released. He is expected to be charged on summons with assault.

Burglars on day shift CARRUM and Aspendale have been hard hit by a spate of daytime burglaries. Chelsea police say three daylight break-ins in Stanley St, Carrum, and one in nearby Valetta St on Thursday 18 May were possibly committed by the same burglars. Offenders climbed over a neighbour’s fence and jemmied a timber sliding door to enter a Stanley St house, between 9am-2.30pm, rifling draws in all rooms and stealing a child’s money box. Soon after, the owner of a neighbouring house received notification on his mobile phone that a home alarm had been activated. Watching mobile footage he saw a man wearing a black jacket with grey sleeves, blue jeans and black Nike runners walk past his carport. He called his son, who lives nearby, who con-

Golf club robbed WOODLANDS Golf Club in Mordialloc was robbed of $4000 in tools and cash overnight, Wednesday 17 May. An alarm was activated at the White St course, 2.30am, prompting the club superintendent to drive by to check locks on gates and look for signs of forced entry. He found nothing amiss. At 4.10am the alarm was again activated and the superintendent returned to inspect the site, but again found no signs of forced entry. However, over the next few days, staff noticed that two chainsaws, grass cutter and microscope were missing, as well as petty cash and keys. Anyone with information about any of these incidents can provide information in confidence at crimestoppers.com.au online or by calling Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

TWO men appeared at an out-of-sessions Melbourne Magistrates’ Court hearing on Saturday charged with the murder of a former Special Operations Group police officer at Braeside, Thursday 18 May. The ex-police officer, 41, was found dead inside a Governor Rd factory on Friday – the day after his desperate family had searched for him in the industrial estate. A 45-year-old Braeside man and a 47-year-old Rosebud man were remanded in custody to reappear at a later date. Senior Constable Alistair Parsons, of police media, said the 45-year-old had handed himself in to police and told them where the body could be found. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or make a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au online.

firmed the break-in and said someone had gone through all the drawers in the house and had stolen $100 cash. There was no sign of forced entry. Burglars broke into a third Stanley St house through a side window around the same time, rummaging through draws and cupboards in all rooms. A scaffolding contractor working opposite told police he saw two men walking up and down the street at noon. He said one of the men told him he was looking for a missing number plate for his Audi sedan which he thought could be in the street. Soon after, the contractor saw the car drive off – with both number plates attached. The man was described as 25, unshaven, with short hair and tanned skin and wearing a short sleeve puffer jacket and blue jeans. Carrum Senior Citizens’ Club in Valetta St was broken into the same afternoon. Members arrived to find the front door damaged, the premises ransacked and drawers rifled, although nothing was reported stolen. Police said the offenders had moved wheelie bins to hide behind at the front entrance while they broke in through glass panels. Nothing was stolen, although the offenders had moved a 50-inch older style TV set to the northern fire escape which they probably intended stealing. Next to it was a bag containing the TV remote control and cables. The Aspendale break-ins occurred the next day, Friday 19 May, also in the daytime. A Marabou Place resident returned home at 4pm to find the back door forced open and the house ransacked. The offenders appeared to have jumped a side fence and jemmied open a set of glass doors into the lounge room. They searched through wardrobes and draws and jemmied open a small safe. It is not known what was stolen. A house in First Av was also broken into the same afternoon. Offenders jemmied open a door to gain entry and then rifled draws and cupboards, tipping clothing into the floor and stealing $100 in cash from a money tin. The same day, burglars broke into a Belle Crescent, Mordialloc house, though a bedroom window. They stole a MacBook Air laptop and $400 cash. Another laptop was unplugged and placed on a bed, but not taken.
