Police have arrested a teenage boy during an extended follow through Melbourne’s south-east.
Officers on patrol first observed a believed-to-be stolen black Porsche wagon travelling along Quarry Rd in Langwarrin about 1.30am on Tuesday (May 27).
With the assistance of the Air Wing, units on the ground followed the vehicle to Cranbourne-Frankston Rd, before continuing on towards Mornington.
Stop sticks were successfully deployed on Thompsons Rd in Cranbourne, before the vehicle came to a stop on Peninsula Link in Moorooduc about 4.10am.
The sole occupant of the Porsche, a 13-year-old boy, was arrested at the scene.
He was expected to be interviewed in relation to the incident.
