Brazen gang stages second night of mayhem across Melbourne’s south-east

A brazen gang has staged a second night of mayhem, this time targeting businesses in Melbourne’s south-east.

On Tuesday night, a group of thugs wearing ski masks, armed with knives and a baseball bat robbed service stations in Melbourne’s north-west.

Overnight, it’s believed the same gang, using a grey Mercedes-Benz, have gone on another crime spree.
