Imitation firearm charges

A SPRINGVALE teen had a memorable Valentine’s Day for all the wrong reasons.
Police received reports of a man waving around a handgun on Parkmore Road, Keysborough, about 5.30pm on 14 February.
Officers arrived and instructed the 17-year-old to drop the weapon, and he quickly complied. The weapon turned out to be a fake.
He was bailed to answer charges of possessing an imitation firearm at the Children’s Court.
