Robbers prey in small red car

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

Two males in a small red vehicle have pulled over and tried to rob a driver near a building site in Springvale.

The 43-year-old Dandenong victim was overtaken and cut off by the red car on St James Avenue about noon on Monday 14 January.

Armed with a knife, the red car’s driver approached the victim and demanded his wallet and cash.

A second male, unarmed, also demanded money.

The victim yelled, catching the attention of workers at a nearby construction site.

The robbers escaped in their car, driving westwards along St James Avenue.

They were described as European.
