Police are seeking witnesses to an incident involving a firearm in Dandenong North on Tuesday, March 25.
Investigators understand a mother and her seven-year-old daughter were walking through Tirhatuan Reserve when they observed a male riding a dirt bike in a southerly direction near the basketball courts on Kriegel Way about 6.30pm.
The male skidded to a stop close to the victims, causing them to run towards the basketball courts. The male followed them, doing laps around Kriegel Way, the tennis courts, and the basketball courts.
The male then rode up and approached the two victims.
Without any conversation or provocation, he took off his helmet. He pointed at what is described to be a black handgun for approximately 10 seconds in a threatening manner at the pair.
The male then left on the dirt bike in a south-easterly direction through the reserve towards Stud Road.
The male has been described as being between 16-18 years old, Caucasian in appearance with tanned skin, average build, approximately 160-165cm tall with greasy slick-back shoulder-length hair, brown eyes and very thick dark eyebrows.
Detectives are seeking the public’s assistance in providing CCTV/dashcam footage and in identifying the male.
