VicPD say one man was arrested following a Tuesday night robbery call that saw officers seize a baseball bat, a knife and clips for a replica firearm.
According to police, officers were called to the 400-block of Cecelia Road just after 9 p.m. following a report that a man armed with a bat was chasing another man calling out for help.
As officers responded, more witnesses called police to report that the suspect had allegedly threatened to shoot the victim during the chase, and that the victim had attempted to enter people’s vehicles to escape. “Officers arrived and located the victim, who had not been physically injured. Officers learned that the suspect had robbed the victim and left the scene,” VicPD said in a Wednesday news release.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.
