Antisocial sale

By CASEY NEILL

A CRANBOURNE South woman has been dragged by a car along a Dandenong roadside in an internet sale gone wrong.
Police said two vehicles pulled into a car park on Stud Road about 12.45pm on Monday 9 November.
The victim, 26, and the passenger from the other car got out to make the exchange.
She handed over the item but changed her mind when the buyer returned to his car and reached inside the window to take it back.
Police said the man held onto the item and the driver took off with the woman still reaching in through the window.
The passenger assaulted her while the car continued to move, before pushing her onto the road.
The two men are described as about 35 years of age and Caucasian in appearance, one with possible European heritage and the other of Middle Eastern appearance.
They were in a red or maroon-coloured Ford Fairmont or Falcon.
The victim suffered minor injuries but police said she was “fairly shaken up”.
They urged anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
