Police have charged two boys after an alleged carjacking in Sanctuary Lakes, Point Cook on Wednesday night.

It’s alleged the teenagers approached a stationary black Mercedes sedan on South Boulevard just before 11pm on March 6.

They allegedly threatened the occupant, who was not injured, with a weapon before stealing the vehicle.

The pair were arrested a short time later in Truganina after they fled from the vehicle on foot.

The boys, aged 15 and 16, have been charged with aggravated carjacking, theft of a motor vehicle, common law assault and unlawful assault with a weapon.

The Hoppers Crossing boys will appear at a children’s court hearing later today.
