WORD ON THE STREET

Police have revealed a man who 3AW callers saw surrounded by a large police presence in Melbourne’s north was allegedly carrying a gun.

Word On The Street callers Danielle and Andrew told Tom Elliott up to 10 officers were arresting a man in Watsonia, near Lyola College.

The drama started when he was spotted driving an allegedly stolen car.

When approached by officers, they say he ran away.

However, police made the arrest a short time later on Grimshaw St, about 4.30pm.

He was later charged with conduct endangering life and theft of motor vehicle, as well as drug, firearms and assault-related offences.

He was remanded to appear before Heidelberg Magistrates’ Court today.
