Futile bid to rob car in driveway

By Casey Neill

An armed man tried to rob a couple in their own driveway in Dandenong North.
The victims, a 69-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman, returned to their McKeon Circuit home about 11.10pm on Thursday 20 October.
They parked their black Holden Commodore in the driveway, and the man got out and opened the boot.
A man, possibly armed with a gun, confronted the elderly man and demanded his car keys.
The victim yelled out to the woman and the would-be thief fled.
He entered a car parked opposite the home and the driver took off towards Outlook Drive.
Police are looking for a man with a dark complexion and Southern European-appearance, aged 18 to 22 years old and about 175 centimetres tall.
Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.
