Kalorama’s Kapi Art Space has been dealt another blow after a luxury car ploughed into the community gallery resulting in thousands of dollars worth of art being damaged. It’s alleged an Audi lost control while driving along Ridge Road shortly after 3am on Saturday 13 August, running through the stone barrier and into the front of the business. This comes only two months after another vehicle crashed into the building’s stone barrier. Six teenagers are in custody, including one girl who was quickly arrested nearby on police arrival. Officers were patrolling the area looking for the outstanding offenders as report came through of an attempted car theft on nearby Price Road. After noticing a ride share vehicle passing by, police located four teenagers, three males and one female, who were taken into custody. It was the Dog Squad that rounded up the last male youth. Police said five teens were expected to be interviewed on the morning of Saturday 13 August, while the sixth offender was taken to hospital with a leg injury after being bitten by the police dog. Kalorama CFA Fire Brigade, Olinda CFA Fire Brigade and Lilydale SES attended the scene to help clear debris from the roads and remove artwork from inside the building. A Yarra Ranges Council building engineer was called and Brigade members helped temporarily prop up the roof. Kalorama CFA Fire Brigade captain Bill Robinson said the passengers were lucky to escape the vehicle without injuries. Continued page 2
