Richmond superstar Dustin Martin was the victim of an alleged crime spree after his car was stolen from a St Kilda service station last week.
It was first reported on Channel 7 on Monday night that Martin had lent his Range Rover to a friend who had stopped for a re-fill at a petrol station, only to leave the keys inside the car.
It is alleged that a 29-year-old man from Springvale then stole the car, with police notified of the alleged theft and later spotting the Range Rover around five hours later.
