The Bugle has rounded up some of the breaking stories from the 9-10 September weekend that you may have missed.

Hold up at Kiama Ampol Petrol Station

Four people robbed the Kiama Ampol Petrol Station at the south exit of town on Friday night at around 11pm. Police tape surrounded the station’s counter on Saturday morning as police continued their investigations into the holdup.

Facebook users also reported that a petrol station in Gerringong was targeted on the same night by four people, but reports say the station had closed, sparking speculation that it is the same group that targeted both locations. Reports from the public say cigarettes were the target. NSW Police Media have only issued a statement saying they are "aware' of the incident.

Fire at Foxground

Gerringong RFS attended a structure fire at Foxground on Sunday afternoon. When they attended, they found a farmhouse engulfed by flames, and units from multiple agencies including five different RFS brigades attended.

Shoalhaven Heads Rural Fire Service used a portable pump from a nearby swimming pool to supply water to the units. The blaze was extinguished and while the farmhouse remains standing, it was completely gutted internally.

Aussie community spirit revives man in Gerroa

A local man was transported to Shellharbour Hospital after suddenly collapsing while out walking on Crooked River Road near the Gerroa Fishers Club on Monday 11 September, 2023 at about 10.45 am.

Locals quickly stopped and applied CPR. Volunteers quickly grabbed the defibrillation units from the nearby Fishos club and the Gerroa Caravan Park. However, they weren’t needed as the CPR being applied was successful after five minutes, and the man’s heartbeat and breathing returned. Locals had him talking and in the recovery position when the ambulance arrived.

The Bugle would like to commend the Aussie community spirit of the nearly 20 in number of volunteers who stopped and helped.
