A wild police chase through the south eastern suburbs involving ground and air searches ended in a dramatic arrest in Narre Warren on Tuesday morning, 19 May.
Police initially spotted the car – which was confirmed as being stolen – in Huntingdale Road Oakleigh about 1.40am.
The Public Order Response Team together with police on the ground and the Airwing followed the car, which was believed to have reached speeds of 150km/h on the Monash Freeway, through the south eastern suburbs.
“The police response was well coordinated with stop sticks being used before the car came to rest on the freeway in Narre Warren,” a Victoria Police spokesperson said.
The Critical Incident Response Team and Monash Crime Investigation Unit detectives arrested the 19-year-old man without incident.
The Aspendale man, who is also of interest to police in relation to a robbery, theft and a petrol drive off, is currently assisting police with their enquiries.
It is expected the man will front court later on 19 May.
