Four teenagers from the South East are expected to be charged over the theft of a motor vehicle in Cranbourne following their arrest on Saturday 24 September.
A blue Audi Sedan, stolen during an Aggravated Burglary in Cranbourne North just two days prior, was sighted by police driving erratically in Botanic Ridge around 4am.
Police allege the offenders broke into a house and confronted children during the burglary, requesting them to keep quiet, prior to stealing the vehicle.
Officers followed the vehicle at a distance before it continued travelling north on Springhill Drive, Cranbourne.
Stop sticks were successfully deployed, deflating the rear tyres before the stolen vehicle was involved in a short pursuit along Rosebank Drive.
The stolen vehicle was dumped in Baddeley Circuit, Cranbourne North just minutes into the pursuit with four offenders sighted running from the vehicle to the rear yard of a property nearby, police say.
All four occupants were arrested without incident, after multiple police units including K9 and Pol-Air combined in the pursuit.
All offenders, aged between 14 and 16, were from Endeavour Hills, Cranbourne West, Cranbourne East and Narre Warren respectively.
Each will face the Childrens Court at a later date over the motor vehicle theft, while the investigation into the Aggravated Burglary is still ongoing, police say.
