Head on crash in New Eltham after armed robbery

A major emergency services presence is in New Eltham this afternoon after an armed robbery followed by a head-on crash. Six people were injured.

An air ambulance was seen and numerous ambulances and police vehicles are on site. A police Land Rover was in collision with a white van on Footscray Road.

There are conflicting reports on the exact post office and whether it is one in New Eltham or elsewhere.

Police have closed the road and buses are on diversion.

Investigations are ongoing at the scene.
