Crime Report

Yet again, more reports of Car Break-ins.  Two were reported to us in Riverview and one in Karilla Avenue in Lane Cove North.

Greenwich

Two males were observed breaking into cars in Landenburg Place around 1.00 am on Monday.  A witness who confronted one of the males was threatened with a knife.   Police were called, but the pair fled the scene and were able to evade the Police.  They were last seen heading towards the Pacific Highway in a red car, possibly a Volkswagen.  One male is described as Caucasian, young-looking with a large build and wearing a grey hoodie and grey track pants, the other is described as Middle Eastern appearance, 18-20 years old, around 160cm tall and wearing a dark coloured cap and dark hooded jumper.   Anyone with information should call Crimestoppers or North Shore Police.

 

Riverview

Police were called to Romani Avenue on Saturday evening regarding an altercation between a taxi driver and passenger.   It is alleged that two passengers refused to pay a $50 cleaning fee after one of them vomited in the taxi, instead insisting on cleaning the taxi themselves. While the driver and passenger argued over the $50 it is alleged that the passenger sprayed cleaning spray into the driver’s face and tapped him on the cheek.   Police attended and spoke with both parties and the passenger agreed to pay the fee.  Investigations are continuing into the alleged assault on the driver.

Artarmon

Around 8 pm on Thursday 18 March, Police responded to a triple zero call from a woman fearing her safety.  Police attended a unit block in Barton Road and located the person of interest who was uncooperative and hostile.   The man was placed under arrest and began to resist violently, headbutting and spitting on Police.  The man, who is believed to have been under the influence of the drug “Ice”, began fitting and eventually had to be sedated by Paramedics due to his violent behaviour.   After being treated at the hospital, the man was refused bail and is due to appear at Hornsby Court this week.

 

Chatswood

Two women became involved in a physical fight in the food court of Westfields on Saturday. It is alleged that a 33-year-old woman became aggressive when a 32-year-old woman took a chair that the 33-year-old was saving for her husband.  Both women began to yell at each other while witnesses tried to intervene.    The argument then escalated with both women allegedly slapping each other across the face and the husband of the 33-year-old also becoming involved.  Police attended after being called by witnesses and spoke to both women. However, neither woman wanted to make a formal complaint.

Chatswood

Police received multiple calls around 11 pm on Friday regarding a brawl involving around 10 males occurring at the Chatswood Interchange.   Police attended the scene and located three males in nearby Help Street.  The three males, all aged in their early twenties, were identified as victims after Police reviewed CCTV footage.  Police would like to identify six other males, believed to be aged in their early twenties, who allegedly set upon another four males, kicking some of them in the head on the ground and knocking one male unconscious.  Anyone with information should contact North Shore Police or Crimestoppers.
