A Toyota Hilux which police investigators believe to have been stolen from a Narre Warren South property earlier this month between 6 and 7 September was involved in the ramming of a police vehicle.

Mornington Peninsula Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for public assistance to help identify the driver of the ute that rammed into a police car in Mount Martha.

The incident occurred near the intersection of Nepean Highway and Craigie Road around 1:30am on 13 September, when officers attempted to intercept the stolen vehicle.

After stopping momentarily, the ute turned around and intentionally rammed the side of the marked police car, with the two officers inside sustaining minor injuries.
