A Noble Park man is accused of snatching elderly women’s handbags as he rode unlicensed aboard a scooter in a Dandenong Plaza car park.
Ali Ramazan, 23, sought a sentencing indication at Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on 27 April on a string of charges including two ride-away thefts and an aggravated burglary while on bail.
In the first theft, Ramazan allegedly rode up to a 73-year-old pushing a shopping trolley and snatched her bag in the McCrae Street car park on 21 August.
According to police, the victim fell to the ground as she tried to grab Ramazan, who fled the scene with her handbag and the $1000 cash inside.
