Five arrested after home invasion attempt

Five men were arrested after an alleged attempted home invasion in Cranbourne North.

According to police, several men demanded entry and shouted threats outside a home in Strzelecki Court about 11.15pm on Tuesday 18 February.

The group didn’t enter the home but allegedly grabbed a dirt bike from the rear yard and loaded it into a minibus.

With the help of the Air Wing, police intercepted a Ford Territory, which was seen with the minivan, and arrested the 49-year-old driver.

Police pursued the minibus, which had two front tyres damaged by police stop-sticks.

It came to a halt at the intersection of South Gippsland Highway and Thompsons Road.

Three of the four men inside the minibus surrendered to police while the fourth, who tried to run, was arrested after a short foot pursuit.

The men, ranging in age from 35 to 56, were interviewed by detectives.

The investigation remains ongoing.

The incident at the home appeared targeted, Victoria Police stated.

Any information or dashcam vision to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au
