New fridge for little master chefs By Brendan Rees Students at Tooradin Primary School have been busy rolling up their sleeves tending to their school garden - now they have a new fridge thanks to a local restaurateur. Rob Cauzzo, owner of La Casa Sawtellis in Tooradin generously donated the fridge for the school's Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program on Wednesday 20 March. Teacher Rachel Davis said Grade 4 and 5 students were proud to show Mr Cauzzo their cooking expertise, and shared delicious vegetable soup made from produce harvested from the school garden.

Dash-cam footage captured the alleged stolen Ford ute driving on the wrong side of South Gippsland Highway, Cranbourne. It came as police were led on a two-hour wild pursuit which began about 12.30pm after a four-wheel-drive was allegedly stolen from Cranbourne. The vehicle was later set alight, police say, before the speedsters fled in a station wagon and later hijacked a ute in Hampton Park.

A Lynbrook resident has described the moment a driver "hurtled" towards her following a dramatic police chase in Cranbourne on Monday 1 April. Robin Dzedins said she was turning left into Camms Road from South Gippsland Highway about 2.30pm when she saw a car "swerving like a maniac." "I could only see it head on hurtling straight at me. Luckily I was turning left, had I been going straight ahead I would've been hit," Ms Dzedins said. "I thought he was going to hit the side of my car. "I looked behind and saw bits of car he had hit flying in the air and I was thinking 'God, I haven't been killed and hope no one behind me is killed.'"
The ute crashed where police say the driver was seen getting out carrying a rifle, which was used to carjack a Ford ute in Carrum Downs. Witnesses say they saw the vehicle driving on the wrong side of the South Gippsland Highway in Cranbourne. Ms Dzedins said: "It was very frightening, I was very lucky." "I could see bits of car flying up into the air, like I think mirrors or I don't know; door handles, something like that," she added. "There must have been so people just affected literally by the accident." Cardinia Highway Patrol arrested two men and a woman who attempted to flee on foot after their ute crashed into a truck on the South Gippsland Highway. The driver, a 26-year-old male from Cheltenham, tested positive to methamphetamine and had his licence disqualified. He
