WEST: Stolen car – teens arrested
Police have arrested two teenagers after an allegedly stolen car evaded police twice in Melbourne’s western suburbs on Tuesday afternoon (Feb. 18).
Officers spotted a gold Holden Commodore allegedly driving erratically on O’Keefe Crescent just before 1pm.
Police attempted to intercept the vehicle on Young St before it sped off.
The Commodore, which was allegedly stolen from Ringwood on Monday (feb. 17), was later seen by police travelling on Maidstone St in Altona.
Air Wing and police units on the ground followed the Commodore along the Western Hwy through Melton where it allegedly drove towards oncoming traffic.
Stop sticks were successfully deployed near Coburns Rd in Hopetoun Park before the car came to a stop on Hopetoun Park Rd about 3.30pm.
The occupants, two 16-year-old boys from the Bacchus Marsh area, were arrested at the scene.
They were taken into custody where they will be interviewed.
