Sexual assault charges
DETECTIVES from the Sexual Crimes Squad last week charged a man over the sexual assault of a Seaford woman in April. A 25-year-old Eumemmerring man has been charged with rape, sexual assault, intentionally causing injury, recklessly causing injury and common assault. He was remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Friday 25 August and has been further remanded to a later date. The charges follow an incident at Seaford North Reserve on Saturday 1 April in which the 19-year-old woman was sexually assaulted while walking home from the station about 3am. The incident and hunt for her attacker prompted a march in Seaford, Saturday 29 April, in which 150 people braved the cold to make a stand against sexual assault and for their right to feel safe at night. Their path followed that of the woman on the night she was attacked. A key message on the night was to reinforce the right of everyone – man or woman – to be out late at night and to feel safe. Police set up an information caravan outside the community centre on Station St in an attempt to glean information about the incident.
Fire bug hits mail
THE police search is on for a person who has set fire to four letter boxes in Frankston over the past few weeks. The person twice set fire to an Australia Post post box in Heatherhill Rd, Frankston, 10pm, Wednesday 2 August and 8.30pm, Monday 14 August. The same person also set fire to letters at a post box at the corner of Lindrum Rd and Hampden Avenue, Frankston, Monday 7 August, and one on the corner of Hill and Deane streets, Frankston, near Bunnings, Monday 14 August.
Detective Senior Constable Bernard Dowling, of Frankston CIU, said the person, of unknown gender, was seen lighting paper and dropping it in the boxes. He or she possibly had a “manbun” hairstyle.
Driver sought
POLICE are seeking the driver of a 2005 Holden utility which drove away from the BP service station at the corner of Klauer St and Frankston-Dandenong Rd, Seaford, and refused to stop when they tried to intercept it, midnight, Tuesday 25 July. The ute was involved in other pursuits and incidents around that date. Somerville Highway Patrol members are seeking public help in identifying the man shown in these pictures. He has a tattoo inside his right forearm and is also believed to have either a permanently injured or prosthetic right leg. Anyone with information is asked to contact Leading Senior Constable Thickens at Somerville Highway Patrol, 5978 1358 or Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000.
