Police have charged a man after he allegedly evaded police before being followed through Melbourne’s north-western suburbs overnight.
Officers spotted the car, with allegedly stolen plates, driving on Sydney Road in Fawkner about 1.30am.
Police attempted to intercept the vehicle, but it failed to stop and took off at speed.
With assistance from the Air Wing, police followed the car to Serpens Court in Roxburgh Park, where the vehicle was dumped.
A 26-year-old Beveridge man was arrested nearby.
The man was charged with theft of a motor vehicle, fail to appear on bail and various driving offences.
He was bailed to appear at Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court at a later date.
