A 13-year-old boy has been arrested by police following an aggravated carjacking in Cranbourne overnight.
Police were told that two friends were sitting in their car, in a carpark off Thompsons Road when they were approached by a male around 12:10am on Tuesday 25 February.
The pair engaged the boy in conversation before he made demands for the car and produced a knife.
The two young women ran from the vehicle before they were able to raise the alarm.
Cranbourne police members responded quickly, and the teen was arrested as he tried to run from the scene.
The Cranbourne boy has been interviewed and charged with aggravated carjacking.
It’s expected that he will appear before a children’s court later today where police will seek his remand.
The women, aged 18 and 19 were not physically injured.
