Man attacked, wallet stolen

A man has been hit in the head and his wallet stolen in a brazen attack by at least six youths in Dandenong.
The 41-year-old man had just finished his shopping at Palm Plaza in the early evening on 2 October when he spotted a group of about 10 teenagers with skateboards, police say.
The group yelled out at him and asked for money, but the man told them he can’t help them and walked on.
A short time later, the man felt a blow to the back of his head and fell to the ground.
Looking up he saw a man standing over him who demanded his wallet. The robber then reached into the man’s pocket and took his wallet before running off.
Dandenong police urge anyone who saw the attack or knows any information to contact Crime Stoppers.
