A MAN wielding a chainsaw cut down the door of a unit behind the former Ambassador motel and then cut up a TV set inside last week. It is believed the incident followed an argument – then a fist-fight – between two men outside Officeworks on Nepean Highway, Frankston, 8pm, Monday 16 October. A dispute between the two men is believed to have been going on for weeks. The men live at the units but no one was at home when the chainsaw TV “massacre” was taking place. Hearing the roar of the chainsaw, the frightened sister of a resident called 000. Detective Senior Constable Shane Smith, of Frankston police, said a 30-year-old man was arrested after a “full doorknock of all units”. He said police would allege the chainsaw was still in the man’s possession when he was arrested. “It was a bit of a giveaway,” he said. Details of the incident are described as “sketchy” because neither party – nor other residents – are actively assisting police in their investigation, Detective Smith said. “It is amazing there were so many people there but no one saw or heard anything.” Damage is estimated at $200. A man faced Frankston Magistrates’ Court, Tuesday, charged with burglary, criminal damage and possessing a dangerous article. He was further remanded to reappear at the same court, Wednesday 25 October.
Car windows smashed
A MAN was arrested last week after allegedly using a brick to smash his way into cars parked at Frankston Hospital. Police will allege the former Frankston man, now living in Horsham, damaged up to six cars owned by staff and patients.

Detective Acting Sergeant Craig Goudy, of Frankston CIU, said the damage to cars occurred in the car park, off Hastings Rd, midnight, Tuesday 17 October.

Youths threated
TWO 17-year-olds walking to the bus in Sutton St, Chelsea Heights last week, were robbed by a large man brandishing a tyre iron. The 195cm tall man, described as having dark skin and black crinkly hair, was standing behind his car. When the boys, from Mordialloc, approached he opened the boot and brought out the tyre iron and demanded their belongings. The victim gave the man $5 but he also took his iPhone valued at $200. Anyone with information is urged to call Detective Senior Sergeant Shane Cashman, of Moorabbin police, 9556 6111.
Unwelcome visitor
A 16-YEAR-OLD Chelsea Heights boy at home alone got a fright when he walked into a room to find a bare-chested man sitting at his computer. The offender, who may have entered through a side door of the Seccull Drive home, made a comment and then handed over the boy’s iPad and walked out. He is described as Caucasian, 175cm tall, brown hair, trimmed beard, and wearing black tracksuit pants. He was hairy chested.
