Pair arrested after driving stolen vehicle

A 29-year-old Tullamarine man and 24-year-old Sydenham man have been arrested after a stolen vehicle was spotted allegedly speeding around Shepparton in the early hours of the morning on Friday 17 October.

The stolen white Holden ute was seen driving on Wyndham Street about 12.45am.

Officers attempted to intercept the vehicle before the driver allegedly turned off the Holden’s headlights and took off.

The Holden drove along the Goulburn Valley Highway in Kiala West reaching alleged speeds of up to 160km/h.

Police successfully deployed a tyre deflation device at the Hume Freeway on ramp at Broadford.

Officers moved in and arrested the two alleged occupants of the car.

The Holden was allegedly stolen from an Altona address last week.

The two men will be interviewed by investigators.
