08/11/2017

Two Springvale men held two would-be burglars hostage inside their home until police arrived to arrest them.
They allegedly entered the Springvale Road share house about 12.15pm on Sunday 5 November through a garage.
Police allege the men, aged 27 and 32 from Springvale South, proceeded to a back room that was under renovation and picked up power tools.
They’ll face Dandenong Magistrates’ Court charged with aggravated burglary.
