Police have released an image of a man in relation to an attempted carjacking of a Mercedes Benz C250 in broad daylight in Dandenong CBD.
Greater Dandenong CIU detectives say the pictured man – though not the primary offender – was in the vicinity of the incident and “may have some involvement”.
The attempted car jacker was hovering at the vehicle’s rear outside 30 Langhorne Street about 2.50pm on Friday 11 January.
When the car’s owner got out of the vehicle to confront him, the man then got into the driver’s seat.
He then asked the owner how he could shift the seat back.
Declining to assist the man, the owner rang triple-0.
The man fled, taking personal documents from the Benz’s glovebox.
He was described as solid build, Caucasian appearance and wearing a white T-shirt.
Any information to Greater Dandenong CIU on 9767 7487 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.
