Police have arrested a woman and two men after a number of goods were allegedly stolen from Cranbourne discount warehouse Panda Mart earlier this week.
It is alleged two men and a woman entered the store on Thompsons Road at about 11.05am on Wednesday 26 March.
The offenders allegedly attempted to leave the store without paying for a range of items.
Security grabbed one of the men and a passer-by intervened, striking the offender with a guitar.
The remaining offenders and a third man returned in a white van, got out of the vehicle and produced what appeared to be metal bars.
Threats were made before security released the person they were holding.
All the offenders then got into the vehicle and fled the scene.
Investigators attended a property in Arnott Street in Cranbourne North on the morning of Friday 28 March and arrested two men and a woman.
A 24-year-old woman and two men aged 26 and 29, all from Cranbourne North, are in custody where they will be interviewed.
Three other people at the address were arrested in relation to unrelated matters.
The white van was located and seized at a separate Cranbourne North address on Thursday 27 March.
