Brawl erupts in Plaza store

A fight between youths has broken out in the aisles of a supermarket in Dandenong Plaza, police say.

Between six and eight males allegedly descended on the Coles store about 6.30pm on Saturday 29 June, sparking a series of triple-0 calls from shocked shoppers.

Police say it’s unknown how many in the group, described as African in appearance, were fighting at the time.

It’s believed the conflict was sparked by a stolen mobile phone.

Using a ‘phone-finding’ app, the victim then tracked their phone to a group of the males in the supermarket, police say.

During the fight, the victim retrieved his phone.

Police arrested a male at the scene. He was charged with theft, affray and assault.
