Want the good stuff?

Fate conspired to deliver an alleged drug dealer into the hands of police in Southbank in the early hours of January 23.

Officers were at the Southbank Police Station about 1.30am when a man attended to report that his car had been broken into in Power St. Members asked the man to return to his car so they could attend and examine the car.

At the scene, the victim told police he believed that the offender had touched a nearby car and pointed out a vehicle. Officers accidentally went to the wrong car and noticed a man in the driver’s seat.

He allegedly asked police if they were there to buy drugs and if they wanted “the good stuff”.

Strangely enough, this resulted in officers searching the vehicle and locating 1000 tablets of what is believed to be ecstasy as well as speed, ice and $5800.

The 26-year-old from Melton was later charged with trafficking and possessing ecstasy, trafficking and possessing methyl-amphetamine, possessing prescribed medication and deal property proceeds of crime.

He was remanded and will appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on February 16.

Doughnut heist

Police are appealing for witnesses after two men stole a box of doughnuts from a Southbank service station in January.

The incident occurred when the men entered the City Rd store at 11.30pm on January 13.

The men walked around the store, with one man selecting and paying for a can of corn, while the second man stood next to him at the counter.

After the first man paid for the corn, the second man grabbed a box, containing 96 doughnuts, from the counter and ran from the store. Police believe the two men also stole a toothbrush and a chocolate bar in the incident.

One man is described as being aged in his late 30s to early 40s with short brown hair. The second man is aged in his 30s, approximately 180cm tall with a thin build.

Police have released CCTV security footage and images of two men who they believe may be able to assist with their enquiry.
