Was it a hold up?
We were driving past Oakleigh at 2pm today and the place was wick with police....the police helicopter was buzzing around too...there was a Group 4 cash van on the pavement at what used to be the post office at Oakleigh.......think it might have been robbed.
Anyone got any other news of this incident?

Re: Was it a hold up?
No idea but sounds a bit suspect to me.

Re: Was it a hold up?
Seen that also, it's all explained on the LET website. Have posted a link, just hope it works because i've never done one before.

Re: Was it a hold up?
Good to know they didn't get away with anything and no-one was hurt. Hope they catch em but it doesn't seem likely from the description: between 5'6" and 6' and wearing balaclavas. Could be just about any bloke in Accy.

Re: Was it a hold up?
The police have been going round house to house trying to get any information. I only realised that something was wrong when all the police vehicles arrived. The Observer should have a decent story (next week unfortunately as this weeks edition has already gone to print.) as they were the first reporters on the scene.

Re: Was it a hold up?
Yeah, we're still doing it. Better leave that for another thread though.
