“They were treated to dinner and a show,” one woman said.

“I think she tried to park but then ran through the front of the shop.

“She then asked a bunch of witnesses to help her move her car.”

It will be alleged the vehicle also “ran through a keep left sign” on a median strip.

A woman was taken from the scene by police.

Victoria Police has been contacted for comment.
