Woman sprayed as gang breaks in

ATTACKERS sprayed capsicum spray in a Springvale women’s face and threatened her life after breaking into her home as she slept.
Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Bret Lavars said the 25-year-old was alone in her Gray Street unit when several men and a woman entered about 1am on 18 January.
They forced her onto the floor after startling her with the spray, kicked her in the back, stood on her head and threatened to kill her. Nothing was taken from the unit.
“She identified a female she believes to be in that group but she doesn’t know the males,” Sen Const Lavars said.
Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.
