Stolen vehicle from Cranbourne fuels Kew burglary

A vehicle that was stolen from a Cranbourne West home overnight has been the ride of choice for four teenagers after they were arrested for aggravated burglary in Kew this morning.

It is alleged that a stolen BMW arrived at a property on Sackville Street at around 4am, where four male offenders allegedly got out of the vehicle and forced entry into the house.

There, they confronted a female occupant who was in bed.

They allegedly demanded keys and stole a mobile phone, wallet, and jewellery, whilst the male occupant called Triple Zero.

The two victims in the home were not physically injured and the offenders fled on foot.

The Dog Squad and Air Wing searched for the teens, who allegedly jumped over fences at nearby properties.

They were located on Bramley Court where they were all arrested.

The four teenagers, aged 14 to 16, were taken into custody where they will be interviewed.
