At about 9 p. M. Thursday night, Ms. Kay (alias) was driving her Volkswagen golf on Harrington Drive, in Melbourne's southeast Narre Warren South district, when a SUV carrying three young people gently hit it from the back.
After stopping on both sides, the woman wanted to get out of the car to exchange information when three young men pointed their guns at her and forced her to hand over the keys to the car.
She later said she was attacked in the face by two young Africans, both under the age of 30, one 170 cm tall and the other about 182cm height.
She was shocked and asked, "what are you doing?" when she was hit in the face with a gun handle. In the end, one of them drove away from her car and two of them fled together.
The woman's son later said his 57-year-old mother, who had sleepless nights on Thursday and went to a doctor, was still frightened. She always said she thought they were going to shoot and that she was going to die. They are so cruel.
The plate number of the stolen Volkswagen MK7 R Golf is black gold and the plate number is BO-55.. Patrol police at Dandenong North's Stud Road tried to stop the Volkswagen at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning. When it collided with another car at the intersection of Sud Road and Brady Road, no one was injured, and the Volkswagen sped up its escape and was chased up to the sidewalk and through the woods.
Eventually it was abandoned in a family's parking lane, the male driver fled and the front bumper of the car was gone.
The occupant said the man was panicked and ran away without the engine turned off. The Asian-looking 22-25-year-old wore a white hoodie and black trousers.
The police came and checked that the car, which had been stolen on Thursday night, had changed its license plate.
No arrests have been made and the case is still under investigation.
Deputy Dean Higgins warned the driver, "after the car accident, make sure it's safe, and then get out of the car." In the light of the present world, our advice is, after being hit, comply with your feelings, according to the surrounding conditions, before getting out of the car. If you don't feel safe, just drive away. "
Of course, he also said that if you feel unsafe, you can drive directly to the nearby police station and dial 000.
But, according to current state law, when an accident occurred, it was clear that you could just walk away.
Insurance companies will certainly not tell their clients that way. But the robbers in Melbourne are now armed.
