A man, identified as Giriwa May, is sentenced to more than four years in prison after driving a stolen Landcruiser through a shopping centre in Melbourne’s north in June last year. Multiple outlets describe CCTV footage showing the vehicle tearing through the Northland Shopping Centre, with the incident including panic among people inside.
Reports say police pursued May and that he attempted to flee at high speed when he drove through the mall. One outlet characterises the behaviour as meth-fuelled. Other coverage focuses on the court outcome, noting that the County Court sentence is handed down on Thursday for the June 18, 2025 incident.
While the accounts differ in emphasis—some foreground the CCTV and the immediate chaos, others stress the substance attributed to May’s state and the sentencing—the key details align: the stolen vehicle, the shopping-centre crash in Melbourne’s north, and May’s prison term following conviction.
