A man has been charged after police spotted a vehicle allegedly speeding through various streets of Hoppers Crossing, Point Cook, Werribee and Tarneit on Tuesday, June 4.
Police said the Toyota Hiace van was first observed travelling east on Sayers Road, Tarneit about 11.30pm.
Police attempted to intercept the Toyota when the driver sped off, actively avoiding police.
It’s alleged the vehicle was clocked at speeds at up to 130 km/h while being followed by the police air wing.
Stop sticks were deployed at the intersection of Hacketts and Sneydes roads and a short time later the driver allegedly dumped the van at a railway station carpark in Tarneit.
The man then attempted to flee on foot but was soon caught and arrested by police.
A 40-year-old Hoppers Crossing man has been charged with theft of motor vehicle, dangerous driving and other driving offences.
He was remanded to appear at Werribee Magistrates’ court on June 5.
