Carjacked by take-out

By Cam Lucadou-Wells

A man has been carjacked in front a row of food outlets in Clow Street Dandenong.

The 31-year-old Lalor man had been driving around the KFC car park, searching for a car spot about 8pm on Friday 12 July, police say.

The driver lowered his Mercedes vehicle’s window when he was approached by a male asking for the time.

The stranger then tried to open the car door.

The victim drove away and parked elsewhere on Clow Street to try for a feed of pizza instead.

After he got out of his car, the same stranger approached him again.

“Give me your f***ing keys,” the man told the victim. He drew the victim’s gaze to the blade of a knife protruding from his pocket.

The victim handed over his keys and fled.

The car-jacker was described as Caucasian appearance and aged in his 40’s.

The stolen car has not been recovered.
