There have been some troubling incidents happening in the south-east suburbs of Melbourne recently. The police are currently on the lookout for a group of teenagers who have been causing chaos with their knives. The targeted locations? Supermarkets. Yes, you heard that right. These young criminals have been robbing multiple supermarkets in different suburbs, leaving a trail of injured staff members in their wake.
According to the authorities, the first attack happened in Cheltenham on Bernard Street. The CCTV footage obtained by 9News shows a group of boys, all wearing balaclavas, barging into the supermarket at around 4pm yesterday. In the video, they can be seen jumping over the counter and assaulting the cashier before demanding access to the cigarette cabinet. After successfully getting their hands on some cash and cigarettes, the group made a quick getaway in a white Mercedes hatchback.
The next target was a store on Cochrane Street in Brighton, just moments after the first robbery. Again, the suspects used the same vehicle and demanded cash and cigarettes while assaulting three employees. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported, but the victims did receive some medical attention on the scene. The boys then fled in the same Mercedes, believed to be driven by a fourth accomplice.
But the crime spree didn't end there. The third incident took place on Andrew Street in Mount Waverley, where the suspects ransacked yet another supermarket at around 6pm. This time, they brandished a knife and escaped with cigarettes in the same white Mercedes. And, shockingly, the same pattern repeated itself at a fourth supermarket on Through Road in Camberwell, where the offenders struck again just before 6:30pm. They produced a knife, took off with cash and cigarettes, and fled the scene in their trusty white Mercedes.
Now, as the police continue their search for these dangerous teens, they are urging anyone with information or evidence, such as dashcam or CCTV footage, to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers. It's crucial that these criminals are caught before they cause any more harm. Let's all do our part in keeping our communities safe.
