ONE of a group of intoxicated men who allegedly caused trouble inside a Chelsea Heights McDonald’s and then loitered outside, vandalising trees and smashing windows at a Wells Rd unit block and a nearby gymnasium, has been arrested.
The incidents occurred on Thursday 14 July last year but are only now coming to court. Witnesses said the offender threw frozen Coke over a customer and then followed him out to the restaurant car park, damaging his car and trying to fight him.
He was one of four men who allegedly snapped four mature trees at their trunks and used star pickets to cause $4000 damage to windows at the units and a gymnasium.
Police used IDs and CCTV footage to identify the offenders taken at Mordialloc Sporting Club, where they had allegedly caused trouble earlier that night.
A man, 28, of McDonald St, Mordialloc, will be summonsed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court in June.
