SOUTH-EAST: Joyride arrests
Two men have been arrested after an extended follow in Melbourne’s southeast.
The Air Wing first spotted the allegedly stolen Subaru Outback driving erratically on South Rd in Bentleigh about 1.50am on Monday (Sep. 8).
The vehicle was followed across Bentleigh, Ormond, Carnegie, Murrum-beena and Hughesdale, where it briefly stopped on Kangaroo Rd.
The driver and passenger swapped before it continued travelling through Chadstone, Caulfield and Malvern.
The vehicle stopped on Glenferrie Rd, dropping the passenger near Haverbrack Avenue, before continuing.
Police successfully deployed stop sticks on Malvern Rd near Wattletree Rd in Malvern East before the vehicle came to a stop on Wynyeh St.
The driver fled on foot and hid in nearby bushes, before the Air Wing guided Dog Squad and other members to his location.
Both men, a 41-year-old from Balwyn North and 42-year-old of no fixed address, were arrested and were to be interviewed.
