THE SUSPECTS FRANKSTON DETECTIVES WANT TO SCOOP UP THE MOST
Pitchford is believed to frequent Cheltenham, Clayton and Noble Park and is also wanted by Frankston police for an outstanding warrant for obtaining property by deception.
The City of Kingston is located in the middle and outer southern suburbs of Melbourne, about 20km south of the CBD, and is surrounded by Bayside, Monash, Glen Eira, Greater Dandenong and Frankston.
She is part of a ragtag bunch of suspected criminals Kingston Crime Investigation Unit police want to scoop up as soon as possible.
Kingston CIU detective Sergeant Jason Venturoni said it was only a matter of time before these people are tracked down, arrested and taken before the courts.
“I’d imagine it can’t be a comfortable feeling to be looking over your shoulder every day to see if the police are behind you,” he said.
“We would encourage these people to hand themselves in to police to have their matters dealt
with rather than being arrested at a time that is highly inconvenient for them.”
Joining Pitchford on the hit list is Ryan Ridley.
Ridley, 35, had a warrant for his arrest issued at the Frankston Magistrates’ Court when he failed to appear on bail.
He also has outstanding charges relating to obtaining property by deception and theft.
Ridley’s whereabouts are currently unknown.
Peter Carr, 40, also had a warrant for his arrest issued at the Frankston Magistrates’ Court when he failed to appear on bail.
He is facing charges relating to theft and handling stolen goods.
Carr is known to frequent the Carrum area.
Joshua Coates, 28, has outstanding charges relating to burglary, theft and criminal damage.
He is believed to frequent the Mentone and Cheltenham area.
Steven Allan, 46, had a warrant for his arrest issued at the Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court almost four years ago after he failed to appear on summons.
Allan is facing a charge of contravening a personal safety intervention order.
Anyone with information about these people or any others wanted by police should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
