Meanwhile, police are continuing to investigate a hit-and-run in Werribee last month.

“Investigators have been told a group of people were walking along Margaret Street when a vehicle mounted the footpath and drove at them about 3.45pm on Sunday 10 August,” a statement said.

“The car struck a 15-year-old boy from the Wyndham area who was taken to hospital with serious leg injuries which required surgery.

“The vehicle was driven away from the scene at a fast rate of speed.”
