PolAir called in for alleged car thefts

A pair of 18-year-olds from Cranbourne and Dandenong North have been arrested after an aggravated burglary led to a police helicopter chase from Mordialloc to Endeavour Hills.

The pair allegedly broke into a house where a family with a newborn baby were sleeping and stole a Mercedes-Benz.

PolAir followed the vehicle to Mulgrave where it was dumped and the offenders got into a second vehicle, which had allegedly also been stolen, from Noble Park.

The chopper continued to follow the car along the Monash Freeway to Endeavour Hills where it was again dumped on Troon Court.

Various police units on the ground were able to apprehend two male offenders, who were charged with handle stolen goods, theft of a motor vehicle, and possess weapons.

They were bailed to appear at the Dandenong Magistrates Court on Friday 10 June.

Detectives from Moorabbin Crime Investigation Unit are continuing to investigate the identity of two outstanding offenders.
