in the driver’s seat. Passers-by had noticed the stationary car and called police. It is known known how the man died. Detective Eames said a quantity of the drug ice was found in a cigarette packet and amount of cash found in the man’s pockets. He said the death did not appear suspicious.
Same time, same place
TWO nearby houses in Patterson Lakes were burgled on the same night at the same time but nothing appears to have been stolen. The gated community houses in Pier One Drive had rear sliding doors forced, overnight, Saturday 26 June, and their front doors propped open with bricks to keep them ajar, possibly as escape routes. In both cases, sleeping occupants upstairs did not hear the burglars, who opened cupboards and draws, and displaced items in rear patios, but who appear to have left before stealing anything. An esky was stolen from a neighbour. The houses have a communal driveway to a nearby hotel and back onto Patterson river. Anyone with information is urged to call Chelsea police, 8773 3200. Thieves raided an Aspendale Gardens restaurant late Sunday night but stole only $200 in staff tips. After the cleaner knocked off for the night the thieves forced their way into Michelangelo’s restaurant using a crow bar, then ripped a cash register from the wall. This was empty but a cash tin containing the tips was taken. CCTV footage shows one offender wearing dark clothing with a hood over his head, and the other wearing tan pants, white shoes, dark jumper with white hood over his head. Both wore gloves. There are no images of their faces.

Unwelcome visitor
A MORDIALLOC resident arrived home to find a man standing outside his front door inside his high brick fence and locked front gate, 3.30pm, Friday 24 June. The man told the Albert St resident that he had seen two men inside his two-storey unit, which is one of three on the block. The resident ran upstairs to find two bedrooms and a study ransacked but no one else there. When he ran downstairs the man had run off with his laptop, some diabetic medication, iPod and other items. The resident chased the man along Chute St, where he dropped the items and then ran off along Governor Rd. The man is described as Caucasian, aged 35, 180cm, short auburn hair, gold or silver teeth, wearing a long black jacket, black pants and white runners.
