A 45-year-old Frankston man, the occupant of the Lucerne Crescent property, was arrested and is being interviewed in relation to the death. A 33-year-old Frankston South woman, also believed to have been in the vehicle, was arrested. She sustained non-life-threatening injuries and remains in hospital under police guard. A third person believed involved has not yet been located and may be injured.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
