Police have charged three men after an alleged high speed follow through parts of Wyndham and Hobsons Bay last night.
It is alleged police spotted two motorcycles traveling at high speeds along the Princes Highway in Werribee just before 9pm on Thursday, May 16.
With the assistance from the air wing, the motorcycles were allegedly followed to a residential property in Altona Meadows where police arrested the two riders.
Whilst at the property, a third man was allegedly observed attempting to conceal an item at the rear of the premises.

A 33-year-old Altona Meadows man was charged with a number of offences including trafficking a commercial quantity of heroin, possessing steroids, possessing proceeds of crime and possessing a controlled weapon.
He will appear at the Werribee Magistrates’ Court today.
