Police allege the Croydon South man, 59, told officers he was there to retrieve drugs seized from him when he was arrested the day before.

He was arrested after police searched him and his car and allegedly found a substance believed to be heroin. 

The man was charged with possess drug of dependence and breach of bail.

A police spokesman told Daily Mail Australia the man had not been aggressive towards officers and simply ‘wandered in’ to the station. 

The female driver, 57 and also from Croydon South, was taken to hospital and will be interviewed at a later date over drug driving related offences and dangerous conduct.

Victoria Police said the fire hydrant is now leaning to the side slightly.
