Police from Epping have arrested a man and seized a firearm following a check of a vehicle in Bundoora this morning.
Officers were on patrol when a car’s brake lights caught their attention in an empty shopping centre carpark on Plenty Road about 2.30am.
Police spoke with the male driver and passenger before enquiries revealed the passenger was wanted by police in relation to another matter.
A search of the 18-year-old uncovered an alleged imitation firearm which has been seized by police.
The Fitzroy North teen has been charged with possession of an imitation firearm, theft of motor vehicle and theft following an aggravated burglary in Malvern East last week.
He has been bailed to appear before court later this year.
