Car ramming leads to firearm seized in Cranbourne East

A man has been charged following an incident at a property in Cranbourne East where a Toyota SUV allegedly rammed a Ford off Collision Road about 2.30pm on Saturday 28 February.

The 28-year-old man has been charged with criminal damage, threat to inflict serious injury and firearm offences.

When police arrived at the scene, the Ford was unoccupied, and the alleged driver of the Toyota was found to be inside a nearby property.

Local police, with the assistance of the Critical Incident Response Team, negotiated with the man until he surrendered to police without incident at about 2.30pm.

As part of the investigation following the man’s arrest, detectives executed a warrant at the property and seized what appears to be a homemade firearm.

The Cranbourne man has been remanded in custody to appear before the Bail and Remand Court in Melbourne on 1 March.

A 29-year-old man who was also arrested at the scene has been charged with making threats to inflict serious injury in relation to an unrelated matter involving a person known to him earlier in the day. He has been bailed to appear before Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 20 May 2026.

Investigators spoke to the owner of the Ford, and enquiries revealed the Ford was unoccupied during the ramming.
