By Cam Lucadou-Wells

A Doveton man has been charged with a violent attempted burglary of a Dandenong South petrol station, police say.

The 24-year-old allegedly used a fire extinguisher to smash the front glass doors of the Caltex servo on Princes Highway about 3.30am on Wednesday 2 October.

A staff member inside the store hit the duress button.

Police attended and arrested the man.

He was bailed to appear at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 27 November.
