Sounds like trouble

Two Dandenong thieves grabbed a man and stole his backpack without saying a word.
The 19-year-old victim was walking along Walker Street, near Clow Street, about 12.30am on Wednesday 1 June.
Two men of African appearance approached him, Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Bree Jarvis said.
“No words or demands were made,” she said.
“But one of the offenders held the victim while the other removed his backpack.”
The backpack contained the victim’s wallet, iPhone and other personal property.
The thieves ran from the scene, traveling east on Walker Street.
The victim later found his backpack a short distance away, minus his phone and wallet.
Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.
