POLICE
It was a quiet night for police with nothing of interest to report.
However, police have had a busy few days as they continue to hunt two men who are wanted for questioning over an alleged armed robbery of a taxi driver in the early hours of Monday morning.
Anyone with information on the incident should call Ballarat Criminal Investigation Unit on 5336 6080.
FIRE
It was a quiet night for fire crews with only two call outs.
Ballarat Fire Brigade senior station officer Neville Collins said crews were called to a false alarm at Ballarat Grammar at 8.15pm.
Crews were also called to wash away oil off the road in Wendouree West at 12.10am.
Another set of Ballarat firefighters have flown out to the Morwell this morning to fight the mine fire in the area.
Mr Collins said firefighters were still extinguishing hot spots at the blaze and believed the fire would be ongoing for some time.
