Steven case ‘closed’
No charges will be laid over the stabbing of Geelong Cats midfielder Jack Steven, Victoria Police has confirmed.
A police spokesperson this week said “the investigation stemming from a 30-year-old Lorne man presenting at a Melbourne hospital with a non-life-threatening injury on May 17, 2020, has been concluded.”
“Should further evidence come to light in the future there is scope for the investigation to be reviewed and reopened.”
Quarry near-miss
Barro Group has been fined $35,000 in Geelong Magistrates’ Court after an excavator made contact with powerlines at a Maude quarry in October 2018.
No one was injured in the incident and Barro Group pleaded guilty to failing to ensure that the workplace and the means of entering and leaving it were safe.
Shooting investigation
Police were called to University Hospital Geelong at 1.15am yesterday, after two men, one in his 20s and the other in his 30s, presented with gunshot wounds to their upper bodies.
“Police are yet to establish the circumstances surrounding how the men obtained their injuries and the investigation is ongoing,” a Victoria Police spokesperson said.
