morning hours of Wednesday, January 5.
Police were called to the fast-food restaurant on Moore St, after an alarm was triggered at

vehicle.
The two men were taken to Warragul police station, where they assisted police with enquiries.
Morwell man arrested in Drouin
A 27-year-old Morwell man was arrested just before midnight on Wednesday, January 5 after allegedly ramming a police vehicle.
Police officers were patrolling the area when they observed an allegedly stolen gold Mazda
sedan parked in a driveway on Kraft Crescent, Drouin.
They stopped in front of the vehicle, and the driver allegedly accelerated into the police
vehicle, before fleeing the scene on foot through a neighbouring property.
Police cordoned off the area, and located the man hiding on the roof of a residential property.
The police vehicle sustained moderate damage, and no officers were injured.
It was later established that the Mazda sedan was allegedly stolen from a Morwell address
