Ex Vic Cop brother in law told me about a drive off from the Shell servo
in Benalla which just happens to be next to the Police station, to cut a
very long story short they were called by the servo attendant and they
went after them straight away, turns out the car was stolen and the
blokes were wanted on armed robbery charges in Melb so it was very much
worth the effort going after them.
Both offenders were arrested at gunpoint after they tried to abandon the
car and run off.

Bloody Benalla Coppers
They will do almost anything to get a booking and conviction
Never do anything with a sideways glance in Benalla

Apparently there was one traffic cop there with a reputation for being
over zealous, the general duties cops used to give to bait him
continuously which probably made him even worse.
Despite spending lots of time in the area for some reason I've never had
an issue with the Benalla police:-)

You can believe that bullshit if it makes you happy. Personally, I just
prefer to call it as I see it, and you are a class A fuckwit.

It's as simple as that.
