Ram raid charges

POLICE have charged two men over an alleged ram raid in Narre Warren on Friday 2 September.
A member of the public called triple-zero and reported seeing a van crash through the doors of a camping store on Narre Warren North Road just after 4.30am.
They allegedly saw the van’s occupants loading goods into the vehicle and called police.
Officers pursued the van for a short time before it sped off.
Another police unit came across the vehicle with its lights off near Belgrave-Hallam Road.
Its driver turned onto the Monash Freeway, travelling inbound in the outbound lanes until it crashed into a railing on the centre median strip.
One man allegedly ran from the van and into grassland, where he was arrested by a canine unit member with assistance from the air wing.
The other man allegedly carjacked a vehicle at the crash scene, reversed into another car, then side-swiped a police car before driving at police members who were getting out of the van.
The stolen car then collided with a prime mover.
Police sprayed the carjacker with capsicum spray and arrested him. Both were taken to hospital under police guard.
Police charged a 26-year-old Plenty man and a 22-year-old Reservoir man with reckless conduct endangering life, robbery and burglary.
They were been remanded to appear at the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 10 October.
