Knifepoint car raid

A knife-wielding thief fled a Dandenong hold-up in a newly-acquired car.
Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Marisa Owens said the 33-year-old victim returned to his car in Pultney Street, Dandenong, about 12.20am on Wednesday 17 August.
A man approached as the victim was getting into the driver’s seat, held a knife towards the victim and demanded he get out of the car.
The victim complied, the bandit got into the silver Holden Caprice and drove away.
The thief is described as African in appearance, tall, and about 20 years old.
He was wearing dark clothing and a black hat.
