Justice Rekindled: A 1994 Heist Revives Painful Memories in Melbourne's South East A recent tip has reopened the case of a brazen 1994 heist at Chadstone shopping centre, where Sverre Benjaminsen, a security guard, was shot in the ankle and foot during a daylight robbery.
The incident had long gone cold, but fresh intelligence has allowed detectives to resume their investigation. The 1994 heist was one of several violent armed robberies targeting Armaguard vans that year.
The case had been shelved, with evidence, including a gun stolen by the thief, left to gather dust in storage.
