Unwelcome visitor
A FRANKSTON man who allegedly shouted racist abuse at a motorist at a service station lifted his shirt to reveal a handgun tucked into his pants, 2.10am, Saturday 21 October. Acting Detective Sergeant Alistair Boyd, of Frankston CIU, said the man approached a 28-year-old Sudanese man after buying petrol at the 7-Eleven on Frankston-Cranbourne Rd, corner of Karingal Drive. Detective Boyd said the man, 44, became aggressive towards the Sudanese man and allegedly shouted: “This is my country so get in your car and f*** off.” The victim got out of his car to approach the man who lifted his shirt and pointed to a gun tucked into his pants before allegedly saying: “Get in your car before I blow your head off.” Detective Boyd said the man with the handgun had a swastika tattooed on his chest. After the incident, the swastika-tattooed man walked to a car which was driven away by another person, and the victim of the racist abuse called Frankston police. They executed a search warrant and arrested a man on Monday 30 October. He was charged with making threats to kill, possessing a handgun and extendable baton and unlawful assault and was remanded in custody. A man appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday (31 October) and was remanded to reappear on Monday 6 November.

Mobility scooter man killed A MAN riding a mobility scooter died after being struck by a car in Langwarrin, Wednesday night (1 November). Emergency services were called to McClelland Drive after the incident which involved a Toyota about 9.05pm. The 47-year-old Langwarrin man died at the scene. A 62-year-old Sandhurst man driving the car stopped to help. Sergeant Mark Sims, of Somerville Highway Patrol, said the deceased man was a resident of the nearby Log Cabin Park. He was crossing the road near Storage King in a dark, unlit area and was not wearing reflective clothing or carrying a light. “The driver of the Toyota only saw him at the last second and is devastated,” he said. “There is no evidence of alcohol, drugs or speeding.” After the fatality and following concerns from nearby residents, Frankston Council will investigate the site and surrounds to “determine if there are any ac-
tions that might be required” to make it safer. “This is a terrible and unfortunate incident that has occurred within our local community,” Council CEO Dennis Hovenden said. “Our thoughts are with the pedestrian, his family and friends during this difficult time. “It appears the pedestrian was crossing at a non-designated crossing point. To the best of our knowledge, we have not received any complaints or requests regarding a pedestrian crossing; nor does there appear to be any recorded crash statistics for the site.” Sergeant Sims said police investigating the collision had contacted Frankston Council to alert them to the area’s dangers. Anyone who saw the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au online.
