Police arrested three people and recovered an allegedly stolen vehicle in Hoppers Crossing on Monday 19 January.
Officers responded to reports of a white Holden Commodore being driven erratically, mounting gutters and crashing into a parked unoccupied vehicle on Market Road in Werribee at about 2.30pm.
It is alleged the driver took off from the scene of the crash and continued towards Hoppers Crossing.
Reports indicated the Holden had damage to the front of the vehicle and smoke was coming from the engine block.
The driver pulled over near the intersection of Bolger Crescent and Spring Drive and it’s alleged one of the occupants was seen jumping on the bonnet of the car.
Police intervened before the driver allegedly took off again, resulting in one of the occupants, a man, falling from the moving vehicle.
The Holden came to a complete stop and officers attempted to arrest the three occupants.
One male allegedly refused to follow police direction and officers deployed a taser.
The three occupants, two men and a teenage girl, were eventually arrested.
The men were taken to hospital for minor injuries under police guard and a 15-year-old girl remains in custody.
The trio will be interviewed by investigators.
Officers seized a machete and a long kitchen knife at the scene.
It is alleged the Holden was stolen from a Hawthorn address in the early hours on Friday morning.
