Melbourne jewellery store robbed for second time in three months
GANG violence is continuing to plague Melbourne, with a jewellery store heist the latest attack in a suspected Apex crime wave.
A group of men broke into IMP Jewellery store in Toorak Road store just before 1pm on Saturday, where they struck a staff member on the head with a gun.
It was the second time in three months the store has been targeted by an armed gang.
The men, described as being of African appearance, fled into a nearby car, where a getaway driver was waiting.
Police gave chase but abandoned the pursuit a short time later.
The staff member was struck on the head with the butt of a firearm and was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Store owner Tony Fialides told the Herald Sun he was stunned by the fresh heist. “I’m incredibly disappointed,” he said. “I’ve had people from interstate and overseas saying: ‘What’s going on in Victoria?’”
It is just three months since the shop was hit by a gun-toting gang.
In that robbery, store manager Steven Morrow had a gun pointed at his head by one of the thieves during the terrifying holdup in which glass counters were smashed.
