Giriwa May, a 28-year-old man from Melbourne's Northland area, was sentenced to four years and ten months in jail at the County Court on Thursday, with a non-parole period of two years and ten months. On June 18, 2025, May drove a stolen Landcruiser through Northland Shopping Centre, causing shoppers, particularly children, to flee in terror. CCTV footage shows May smashing through glass doors and driving into a children’s play area while high on methamphetamine. He initially attempted to evade police by reversing into an unmarked police car several times before fleeing the scene. Judge Stewart Bayles highlighted May's disregard for public safety, emphasizing that people could have been seriously injured or killed during the incident.
