A Melbourne shopping centre has been partially locked down when alleged car thieves — who police say had seriously injured an officer — were found hiding inside a store. Watergardens in Taylors Lakes went into partial lockdown about 2pm on Wednesday. Victoria Police said the lockdown followed a separate incident at Diggers Rest, where officers had attempted to stop a stolen car allegedly with two men inside.
“The vehicle was dumped at a shopping centre in Taylors Lakes, and the two males were arrested inside the shopping centre.” The male senior constable was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Police said the exact circumstances surrounding the incident are being investigated. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers. Earlier, shoppers who were evacuated from the centre had speculated about the possible cause of the lockdown.
