Triple the school fun for everyone HALLAM triplets Charlee, Harry and Shay were all smiles when they started school for the first time this week. The new students, who started at Oatlands Primary in Narre Warren, smiled even more this week when Channel 7 news filmed them getting ready for the big day. Mum Nicole Tumbas said her triplets hadn’t quite understood what she meant when she told them they were going to be on television, but they were soon having fun in front of the cameras. “The kids were so excited, they like being on camera,” Ms Tumbas said. “I think they’re so used to me taking photos of them since they were very young – I was like the paparazzi.” Ms Tumbas said Charlee, Harry and Shay had loved their first day of school, for which fate had landed them all in the same Prep class. “They had a great day, they’re loving it,” she said. “They’ve settled in pretty well.” Oatlands Primary School principal Wes Holloway said Charlee, Harry and Shay were one of two groups of triplets starting at the school this year, in addition to several pairs of twins. News photographer ROB CAREW visited Oatlands Primary this week to capture all the action. 133812
■ Police raids roll up cannabis farms...
Weeded out By LACHLAN MOORHEAD A MAN has been arrested after police seized more than 130 cannabis plants from two properties in Doveton and Mulgrave last Wednesday. The 20-year-old man, from Mulgrave, faced Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Thursday
where his case was adjourned. It’s understood police raided the Mulgrave property in Grantham Terrace first, around 7.30am on Wednesday, seizing more than 100 cannabis plants in different stages of growth and arresting the 20-year-old. Their investigation then led
police to a second property in Banksia Street, Doveton, about 3.30pm where another 24 plants were seized. It’s believed both operations were linked. The arrest comes after police seized another large amount of cannabis with a combined street
value of $1 million earlier this month, from properties in Berwick and Cranbourne North. Police raided both houses as part of an ongoing investigation, but it’s not believed the Berwick and Cranbourne raids are linked. A 44-year-old man was ar-
rested after the property was raided in Baddeley Circuit, in Cranbourne North, on Thursday 8 January. A 20-year-old man was also arrested on Thursday 22 January after police raided the second property in Venables Court in Berwick.
Narre Warren Police Detective Senior-Constable Andrew Pybus said it was good to get the cannabis “off the streets”. Anyone with more information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or file a confidential report at www.crimestoppers.com.au.
