We have all the latest local crime news thanks to North Shore Police Area Command. This takes being hangry to a whole new level.

Saturday shoppers were forced to take cover after a wild brawl broke out between two women in the food court at Westfield Chatswood.

Police were called to Level 4 around lunchtime to investigate the violent outburst near a fast-food outlet.

It’s alleged that a 33-year-old woman became aggressive when another woman took a chair she was saving for her husband.

Shocked witnesses reported a verbal altercation between the two, which quickly degenerated to a physical confrontation.

“The argument escalated with both women allegedly slapping each other across the face and the husband of the 33-year-old also becoming involved,” a spokesperson told Mosman Collective.

“Police attended after being called by witnesses and spoke to both women, however neither woman wanted to make a formal complaint.

A local business has been scammed out of $800 through a gift card fraud. On 18 March an employee of the business received a text message to her mobile phone, signed off with her boss’s name and asking if she was available to run a task urgently.

The message then requested that the employee purchase eight x $100 Steam Wallet gift cards and send photos of the cards with the silver panel scratched off, showing the serial numbers. The employee realised it was a scam before scratching off the silver panel and is hoping to return the unused gift cards to the retailer.
