Four arrested following carjacking

 Armed Crime Squad detectives have arrested four people in the South East following an alleged carjacking in Doveton last month.

On Wednesday, 4 December two women and one man were arrested in Cranbourne North and Noble Park and charged as follows:

• A 31-year-old Cranbourne North man was charged with aggravated carjacking, and reckless conduct endangering life;

• A 28-year-old Doveton woman was charged with aggravated carjacking; and

• A 23-year-old Cranbourne North woman was charged with aggravated carjacking.

They faced Melbourne Magistrates’ Court and the man and Doveton woman were remanded in custody, while the Cranbourne North woman was bailed.

All three will appear again at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 28 February, 2020.

A 32-year-old Meadow Heights woman was arrested in Melbourne on Thursday 5 December. She was charged with aggravated carjacking and was remanded overnight to appear in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.

The arrests follow an alleged carjacking on Claret Street, Doveton on 19 November.

Two teenage occupants of a vehicle were allegedly threatened with a firearm and a shot was discharged when their car was stolen.

Both victims were physically uninjured during the incident.
