Sports stars shine bright SIX southern peninsula teens – all students of Rosebud Secondary College – have had state and national sporting success. For the second year running, Jordyn Allen, 14, of Rye played in the under-16 School Sport Victoria schoolgirls’ football team and the under-18 Vic Metro AFL youth girls team at the Australian championships in Geelong. She was then named in the All Australian team. Year 12 student Max Kleverkamp represented the state in football last month, playing in the under-17 Victorian Country team against Vic Metro after trying out for the team several years in a row. Holly Garac was recently announced captain of the under-12 Victorian netball team and is off to Perth in August to play goal defence. She plays for Balnarring and Mornington netball clubs and aspires to play for the Australian Diamonds. Elly Donald was in Brisbane the day her schoolmates were photographed, playing for Victoria in the Open Women’s Cricket National Indoor Championships. Teammates Jye Nelson and Jamie Hafey-Bagg were part of the successful under-18 Dandenong Baseball Association’s team at the State Winter Championships last month. Nicolle Brigden

Arrests after armed robberies Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON Embona Armed Robbery Squad detectives on Friday arrested and charged five males over violent robberies at two southern peninsula 7-Eleven service stations in the early hours of Wednesday. Four juveniles were charged with armed robbery and other offences and

remanded in custody to appear at a Melbourne Children’s Court later this week. The fifth, 18, was charged with armed robbery and remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court later this week. Terrified attendants feared they could be killed in the 3.07am and 3.30am raids, which were both captured on CCTV footage. The two men were being counselled late last week as they sought to come to grips with the

nightmare events. Police will allege that in the first robbery three balaclava-clad bandits ran behind a customer into the 7-Eleven at the corner of Pt Nepean Rd and Sixth Av, Rosebud. A lone, 35-year-old male attendant looked up to see the offenders, also wearing hooded jumpers and bandanas, rushing to the counter – one brandishing a handgun and another carrying an axe.

The offender with the axe and the unarmed offender allegedly jumped onto the counter and climbed through security wire, while the gunman stood in the customer area, pointing his gun at the attendant as well as the customer, who was crouching on the floor between shelving and a freezer. The two behind the counter ransacked cupboards and filled up a bin with cigarettes and cash from the till. The man with the axe then smashed

a glass door between the customer area and behind the counter and forced the attendant to lie of the floor in the customer area. The gunman also threatened the customer, who was still crouching on the floor. Police believe the bandits parked their cars on Sixth Av, walking through an area behind the store, and followed the customer inside. Continued Page 8
