Property Lift out
Out of control By Brendan Rees and Cam Lucadou-Wells
A driver was trapped for a short time after careering his car off The Promenade in Narre Warren South. 179673
A Cranbourne North man is in a stable condition after ploughing his car into a family home in Narre Warren South on Monday April 9. Police allege the driver, a man aged in 40s, lost control of his car along The Promenade before crashing into an unoccupied master bedroom shortly before 7.30am. The man was trapped for a short time before being freed and taken to Dandenong hospital in a stable condition with chest injuries and grazes. CCTV has emerged from a neighbour's home, showing a Mazda sedan hitting the curb and taking out part of a fence before launching into the air and coming to rest on the bed. The owner of the house, Jamie Moroney has spoken of his shock saying he had left for work just minutes before the accident. "My son rang me. He straight away freaked out because he wasn't sure that I'd left for work," he said. His son was about to have breakfast in the kitchen but luckily not injured, he said. Mr Moroney said he found the car sitting on top of his bed, adding the driver was incoherent and "didn't know what was going on". "I just wanted to get the ignition off the car," he said. "The last thing I wanted was the car to catch fire." Continued on page 3
Carjacking terror By Brendan Rees When Darcy Harris pulled into a shopping centre carpark the last thing he expected was to be carjacked. The 20-year-old was approached by a Cranbourne man at the Gateway Shopping Centre in Langwarrin just after 6.30pm on Sunday, 8 April. "He said he was from Perth and his car was broken down and just looking to get to the cinema," Mr Harris said. As he pointed to the direction of a nearby cinema, the man tried to snatch the keys out
of his hand. "He threatened to stab me and asked me to get out of the car," Mr Harris said. "I agreed to give him a lift. I don't know why I did it. I made a mistake there. "(We) started driving towards the cinema. He said 'Can we go check on my car?'" Mr Harris drove into Moate Street in Langwarrin. "At this point we were in darkness, there were no street lights." The man allegedly said: "'Oh no, where's my car? Car's gone. What's happening?" Mr Harris then turned into Glazebury
Court: "He forces the car into park and just tells me to get the f*** out of the car." "He threatened to put my head through the window and he asked if I wanted to die at 20. "He forced me to give him the jumper that I was wearing and gave me his shirt in return. "He threatened that if I ever report the car stolen he would hunt me down and gun me." Mr Harris ran to a nearby friend's house and called police. He was not injured, but his phone, driver's licence and cash were in his Holden ute. "I was in hysterics for the rest of the night."
"This is video games; this is stuff that happens in movies." The vehicle was located abandoned just before 7.30am on Monday, 9 April on Mayune Court in Cranbourne West after it was posted on Facebook's Casey Crime Page. Police arrested a 28 year-old man in Cranbourne on Monday, 9 April. He was remanded to face Frankston Magistrates' Court on 20 April for offences including carjacking, theft of a motor vehicle, and assaulting police. The man had allegedly been on bail at the time.
