Gun raid

POLICE have released an image of a man who threatened two people at gunpoint and stole thousands of dollars worth of jewellery from a Dandenong property last year.
The man was armed with a semi-automatic handgun when he knocked on the Ann Street unit around 10pm on 4 September and threatened the two residents.
With the gun aimed at the victims the man forced them to open a safe and hand over the jewellery inside.
Police have released a FACE image of the man who is described as Aboriginal, 173 centimetres tall, aged in his mid-20s with a skinny build, dark eyes and hair.
He had a goatee at the time and was wearing a black hooded top and black pants.
