Child survives alleged stabbing AN 11-year-old girl was allegedly stabbed on a Frankston street last week. The victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries. She was taken to hospital for treatment after sustaining multiple stab wounds. Police allege that the girl was stabbed on Gallery Lane at around 12.15am, 16 June. Three children were arrested after the alleged incident. A group allegedly demanded the girl’s phone and personal items before stabbing her with what police called a “sharp implement”. A 14-year-old boy from Frankston and a 12-year-old girl from Highett were both charged with armed robbery and assault. They were summonsed to appear at a children’s court at a later date. Police also arrested an 11-year-old girl from Carlton. She was released pending summons.
Teen attacked at shops

A TEENAGER was assaulted in Frankston last month. The 14-year-old boy was attacked at a Frankston shopping centre at around 4.30pm on 7 May. Two people, a man and woman, came to assist the victim. They helped remove the attacker from the teenager. The two people who helped left the shopping centre before police arrived. Police are now seeking them to help with their investigation. Any witnesses to the attack can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 and quote incident number 220146426

Police probe unsolved shooting Continued from page 1 “Although the incidents occurred in a largely industrial area, there were other people living and working in close vicinity at the time who could have been impacted by the shootings. The outcome of these events could have been a very different story and over the past two years we’ve pursued a number of avenues of enquiry in an effort to identify those responsible,” Hatt said. “Investigators are hoping that today’s reward announcement will entice someone who has crucial information to come forward, enabling us to solve these crimes. “There were numerous people at the clubhouse at the time, all with family, friends and associ-
ates. It is likely that they have spoken about the incident. Circumstances change and someone who may not have wanted to provide information to police previously may now feel ready to do so. We’re very keen to speak to anyone who might have witnessed the incidents, or who may know the identities of those involved.” A CCTV image of a VW Golf allegedly involved in the car fire was released in 2020. Police believe those responsible for the fire may have left in it. Anyone with information about the shootings can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au
