Four youths arrested after evade through Melbourne’s west

Police have arrested four youths after an allegedly stolen vehicle evaded police in Melbourne’s west.

The silver Honda Accord was first sighted on Thomas Carr Road, Tarneit at about 11.55 pm on Thursday, June 19.

Officers attempted to intercept the Honda, but it fled on Geelong Road, Brooklyn.

The police air wing then observed the Honda allegedly driving at speed in Sommerville Road, Yarraville.

It is alleged the Honda pulled in behind the rear of a fast-food restaurant on Ballarat Road, Footscray where one of the occupants exited the vehicle.

The Honda then travelled city-bound along Ballarat Road, Droop Street and various other streets in Footscray, before turning around and heading back towards Tarneit.

Police successfully deployed stop sticks on Derrimut Road, Werribee, where the vehicle came to a stop and all four occupants fled on foot.

Two girls and two boys were arrested nearby and are expected to be interviewed later this morning.

The Honda was stolen from a residential address in Toorak Avenue, Croydon about 1pm on June 4.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or has footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
