Police patrol Axe threats A CHELTENHAM man who allegedly threatened Kingston Council officers with an axe will be interviewed by police on charges including assault with a weapon, unlawful assault and making threats to kill. The officers – one from Kingston and the other from Bayside Council – visited the man’s Axelton St house, 9.40am, Tuesday 7 February, to question him over his staffie dog running loose in a park. They claimed the dog owner was hostile and called police while they were at the house to demand the council officers be removed from his property. The man grabbed an axe from the garden and “stood threateningly with it by his side”, according to council officers. He then put the axe in his car and allegedly continued to abuse and threaten the officers.

Cyclist shot A MAN was shot in the knee while riding his bike on the footpath near Southland, noon, Sunday 12 February. The 42-year-old, of Moorabbin, told police he heard a loud bang but did not feel any pain and did not realise he had been shot until he arrived home with numbness in his knee and blood on his leg. The man took himself to the Monash Medical Centre for treatment. Police said the wound was consistent with a gunshot. A single entry point extended from the medial side of the knee to an exit point on the lateral side. Investigations are continuing.

Unwanted attention A MAN will face Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court charged with two counts of sexual assault. The 48-year-old Sandhurst man allegedly exposed himself before a female fitness trainer at a Chelsea gym at about 6pm on Friday 10 February managed to escape. The man allegedly grabbed her around the waist and tried to lock a door. He has been bailed to appear in court in May.

Phone, cash stolen A MAN told police three men accosted him at a Southland bus stop last week and asked to borrow his mobile phone. When the man, 50, refused, he said one of the men produced a knife and demanded the phone, while another man reached into his back pocket and stole his wallet containing $700 in pension money. Call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 with information.

Subway robbery A SUBWAY store manager tried to flee when two men smashed their way inside an hour before opening time and threatened her, Wednesday 8 February. The woman, 32, was confronted in the Chelsea Heights store by the men wielding hammers. They forced her to open the safe, taking a large quantity of cash, as well as the contents of the till. The men took the woman’s phone as well as her purse, from her car. It contained cash, driver’s licence, cards and personal details. The woman was made to lay down in the car and not look up until they had left. A third man standing at the corner of the store was possibly a look-out. The men, described as possibly Maori, wore dark clothing and covered their faces. One was carrying a black bag containing tradie hammers.

Trio on drugs charges FRANKSTON detectives are confident they have put a dent in a large scale drug trafficking ring after three people were arrested last week. Detective Acting Sergeant Kerryn Merrett said two woman aged 26 and 27, and a man, 27, were charged with trafficking a quantity of methyl-amphetamine (ice) and the drug ecstasy and dealing with the proceeds of crime, Friday 3 February. It is believed $50,000 cash was found during the raid at Dingley Village. The younger woman has been bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court; the man has been bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court and the older woman to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, all at later dates. Detective Merrett said the trio had “significant links to the Frankston area”. She said the arrests in the ongoing operation would “severely disrupt drug trafficking” in the city.
