YARRA RANGES: 2 arrests after Belgrave machete approach
Detectives have arrested two teens after a victim was struck with a machete in Belgrave.
It is alleged that two victims, a man and a woman, were confronted by a group of males on Blacksmiths Way about 7.10pm on Wednesday (Oct. 29).
One alleged offender struck the male victim with a machete before the group of males took off from the scene in a white BMW sedan.
The victim, a 27-year-old Ferntree Gully man, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Detectives allege the same vehicle was used to steal petrol from a service station on the Western Freeway in Ballan earlier in the day.
A 15-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy, both from the Moorabool area, were arrested.
They were both to be interviewed by police.
Detectives were working to identify a third alleged offender.
