Police patrol Fight over stolen beer

Taxi ride un-fare

A TOW truck had to be called in to haul an expensive BMW RR motorbike from the muddy waters of Mordialloc Creek last week. Two motorcyclists are understood to have stopped on the bank to take photographs, 8pm, Wednesday 20 September, and the $25,000 bike inadvertently toppled in. Despite their best efforts, the bikers could not retrieve it that night; a couple of passing tradies were also unsuccessful next day. Photographer Gary Sissons was on hand when the tow truck arrived and connected a cable to the waterlogged bike.

Wrong way drive

AN unlicensed driver had her car impounded after being caught driving down the wrong side of Peninsula Link, 4am, Wednesday 20 September. Members of the Frankston Highway Patrol narrowly avoided a collision with the woman who was driving south in the north-bound lane. They chased her for three kilometres and managed to pull her over at the Cranbourne Rd exit. The 48-year-old, of Somerville, claimed she had “swerved to miss a possum” and was unaware she was in the wrong lane. Senior Sergeant Mick Lamb, of Frankston police, said there was “real potential for a catastrophic outcome” in the incident. The woman’s car was impounded for 30 days and she will be summonsed on a range of driving offences, possibly including conduct endangering life.

Bike takes plunge

A TAXI driver who picked up three young men from Willow Av, Cheltenham and drove them to Gladesville Blvd, Patterson Lakes, got nothing for his trouble, 3am, Friday 22 September. On arrival one of the men said he felt sick and all three took this as a signal and jumped out and ran down the street without paying the fare. The front seat passenger is described as Caucasian, 18-19, wearing a hoodie. The two rear seat passengers were Caucasian. Police are examining the cab’s CCTV footage. Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Cashman, of Kingston CIU, said it would be better for the men to come forward voluntarily “rather than us identifying them”.

With Stephen Taylor

TWO female liquor store attendants struggled with two men who were attempting to steal three cartons of beer in Cheltenham, Saturday 23 September. The men entered the Station Rd store, 12.45pm, and selected two Corona and one Victoria Bitter cartons before attempting to walk out without paying. During the struggle two cartons were dropped, breaking some of the stubbies, and the men fled with only one carton. A witness chased them to Stanley Av but one produced a jemmy bar and raised it in a threatening manner. The men are described as: one Indian or Middle Eastern, 170cm, wearing grey clothing, and one Caucasian, 172cm. Anyone who saw the incident is urged to call Kingston police, 9556 6111.
