Thieves surfing for cash

Driver nailed

THIEVES who stole $90,000 worth of surf brand valuables from a store in Cranbourne Centro last month are believed to have been involved in robbing a surf clothes delivery truck in Narre Warren South just five days earlier. Thieves broke into Planet Surf, in the Cranbourne Centro shopping centre, through the store’s roof on Monday 23 March between 11pm and 7am the next morning, fleeing with roughly $90,000 worth of surf brand watches, wallets and sunglasses. It’s understood CCTV cameras weren’t operational at the time as the shopping centre was undergoing renovations. Five days earlier a truck - used to transport surf clothing to the Planet Surf store was broken into while it was parked in Maple Leaf Avenue in Narre Warren South. The truck’s lock had been cut and roughly 15 to 20 boxes of Billabong and Hurley merchandise were stolen during the robbery, believed to have taken place between 5pm on Tuesday 17 and 4.30pm on Wednesday 18 March. A resident from Maple Leaf Avenue later reported seeing roughly 15 empty boxes strewn in a nearby front yard. Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or submit a confidential crime report at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

NARRE Warren police have charged a man who allegedly smashed another person’s car with a hammer earlier this month in a vicious act of road rage on the Monash Freeway. The 23-year-old man was arrested around 4am on Wednesday 29 April after police executed a warrant at a McCormicks Road property in Carrum Downs. The man has been charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury, the possession of cannabis, criminal damage, and other traffic-related offences. The man had been arrested earlier this month but released pending further inquiries. It’s alleged the man, who was driving a silver Toyota Rukus at the time, smashed a Lexus with a hammer after tailgating the car and driving erratically outbound on the freeway in Endeavour Hills, near Heatherton Road, around 3.15pm on Thursday 23 April. It’s alleged the man drove in front of the Lexus and forced it to stop on the freeway before attacking it with a hammer. The male driver of the Lexus was not injured during the incident. It is understood the offender got back into his car after the incident and continued driving onto the South Gippsland Highway and onto the Westernport Highway where he was intercepted by police. The man was subsequently arrested at the scene but released a short time later. He has now been bailed to appear at the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 30 June.
