Earlier this month an aggravated carjacking occurred in the Heidelberg West area where the vehicle owner left his vehicle running in a driveway whilst securing a commercial premises. An opportunistic thief then jumped into the vehicle and attempted to drive away, in doing so the owner attempted to stop the theft by entering the vehicle. The thief has then pushed the owner of the vehicle out of the passenger causing him to sustain minor injuries. The vehicle was later located in the Reservoir area and an offender has been identified and charged.
