Woman trapped after collision A CLYDE woman was taken to Frankston hospital with leg injuries, Thursday (15 October), after her Suzuki sedan was hit from behind by a truck towing a prime mover in Thompson Rd, near McCormick’s Rd, Sandhurst. The woman, 23, was driving the last of four cars which stopped abruptly to allow a car in front to turn into a driveway, Leading Senior Constable Ash Bowden, of Carrum Downs Highway Patrol, said. The force of the impact extensively damaged
her car, and caused a four-vehicle pile-up about 3.50pm. The woman remained trapped in the car for 30 minutes before being released by CFA crews from Patterson Lakes and Skye and Frankston SES. Another driver was taken to Frankston Hospital with a broken finger. No drugs or alcohol were detected. The truck driver received an infringement notice for not driving at a safe distance.

Copper raids at building sites COPPER cabling valued at tens of thousands of dollars has been stolen in a series of overnight raids on building sites in Carrum Downs and Skye. Five sites have been hit since June, with offenders using a four-wheel-drive utility to pull cabling out of the ground before cutting it up into manageable lengths. In one raid in Frankston-Dandenong Rd, two tonnes of copper cabling valued at $13,000 was taken – with a similar amount stolen in an earlier theft at the same site. Other robberies took place at McCormick’s Rd and McClelland Dr, Carrum Downs, and Potts Rd, Skye. Around 4000 metres of copper cabling of various dimensions was stolen from a sporting reserve in McClelland Drive in the same period. The going price for stripped copper at scrap metal yards is $6.50 a kilogram. Police said the thieves typically cut the copper cabling off at the switchboard before tying it to the back of the ute and driving down the road to haul it out. A witness saw three men again possibly casing the Frankston-Dandenong Rd site Saturday morning, 10 October, before driving off in a small orange-coloured sedan. Several building sites are believed to have upgraded their security, with CCTV cameras and steel-mesh fencing installed. Others are considering hiring overnight security staff. Anyone with information is urged to call Frankston CIU, 9784 5555.
Aladdin’s cave find DETECTIVES stumbled upon an “Aladdin’s cave” of allegedly stolen property in Frankston South last week. Detective Senior Constable Craig Ferris said the find came after a witness allegedly saw a man robbing a nearby Frankston South house, which is under renovation, twice on successive nights: Sunday 4 October and Monday 5 October. Checks were done on the getaway car allowing police to raid the alleged robber’s house where
they found large quantities of tools, silver ware, stolen mail and building materials – including a kitchen sink. Detective Ferris said the power tools alone were valued at $8000, but that the value of the other items was still being tallied. A stolen credit card had allegedly also been used several times. A Frankston South man, 29, has been charged with three counts of burglary and theft, theft of, and from, a motor car, and driving while suspended. Several deception charges are said to be pending. The man has been remanded to appear at a court to be determined on 27 October.

A WOMAN says she was bundled into the boot of a car and driven off before managing to escape hours later and seek help at a house in Mt Eliza late afternoon, Sunday 11 October. Detective Senior Constable Mark Garrett, of Frankston CIU, said the woman, 32, was sharing a Frankston North house with a man and woman, both 24, when she was tied up and assaulted in the early hours of Sunday morning. At 11.30am she was untied and allegedly forced into the boot of a white Holden Commodore which was driven around for several hours before stopping at a reserve off Two Bays Rd, Mt Eliza. The woman managed to force open the boot and escape to the house in Mountain View Rd, 6pm, where residents called police. Police say the woman received some facial injuries and bruises in the incident. She spent Sunday night at Frankston hospital and was released Monday morning. Her former roommates have been charged with common law kidnapping, false imprisonment and assault-related offences. They were due to face Melbourne Magistrates’ Court today (Monday). Anyone seeing the car, or the male occupant, in Two Bays Rd, noon-6pm, is asked to call Frankston police, 9784 5555.
