POLICE hope to interview a Dandenong man in relation to a car crash in Belgrave on Thursday night.
Belgrave Sergeant Craig West said that police were called to a residential address not long after 9am on Friday and found an abandoned car crashed into the front yard.
Owner of the property Peter Raaymakers said it was the second time in three months that a car had driven through his front fence.
“Last time the girl lost control on the corner, but this time I looked through the window and thought, well, that’s a nice car,” he said.
“We didn’t hear it crash, but that’s probably because it is a busy road – but the guy, he locked the car and left it here.
“We’re lucky we have the brick fence here, otherwise who knows what could have happened.”
Sgt West said that police were able to find the driver’s address through his licence plate and registration.
The P-plate driver is expected to be interviewed in relation to the crash.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
