Assault charge
Rescue after mayday
A FRANKSTON man has been arrested and charged after an alleged sexual assault. Police say that a woman was assaulted in the Kurrawa Linear Reserve in Patterson Lakes last month. On Monday, 17 August, the Bayside sexual offences and child abuse investigation team arrested a 20-year-old Frankston man and charged him with multiple offences. The alleged offender has been remanded into custody, and will appear on 13 November at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.
RESCUE crews from Coast Guard Western Port and Volunteer Marine Rescue Hastings rushed to answer a mayday call from a sinking yacht off Flinders, 7.15pm, Thursday 6 August. The two boats were on the scene promptly despite the rough conditions. The San Remo yacht with four people aboard – two adults and two children – was escorted back to Flinders pier where Flinders CFA crews pumped the water out. Coast Guard Commander Jeremy West said an investigation revealed a diesel engine malfunction and burst pipe was causing water to be sucked back into the boat. The next day a friend took the four back to San Remo and the yacht was sailed to Yaringa boat harbour for repairs.
Garage fire fight WESTERN Port fire brigades fought a garage fire in Nottingham Avenue, Somerville, 7.40pm, Sunday 9 August. Somerville CFA was quickly on scene with three fire trucks, followed soon after by Baxter CFA. “On arrival, we saw a garage well alight, with flames threatening the adjacent house,” Somerville CFA Lieutenant Josh Caron said. “However our crew were able to make entry and attack the fire immediately to prevent further spread.” The fire was quickly contained to the garage, and the surrounding buildings were unscathed, however, three motorcycles, tools, camping gear and gym equipment were destroyed. Ambulance crews treated the owner of the property for smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire, which also threatened an adjacent house, is under investigation.
