Three teenagers have been arrested by police after they fled from a crash in St Albans yesterday.
The three males were seen running from the scene of the crashed car on St Albans Road, after they struck a power pole at speed, about 3.40pm.
Shortly after, the trio were arrested at the intersection of Furlong Road and Western Ring Road.
Two of the teens, a 17-year-old from Thomastown and a 16-year-old from Lalor, were taken to hospital where they remain under police guard.
The other offender was a 17-year-old from Burnside Heights.
Police confirmed the crashed Subaru was allegedly stolen during an aggravated carjacking in Campbellfield on 17 October.
Police are also investigating whether the teens are linked to a number of other incidents across Melbourne, including an alleged carjacking at a service station in Harvest Home Road in Epping on 24 October, where a man was allegedly threatened with a hammer and knife and had his car stolen about 10.45pm.
Investigations are also ongoing for an incident in Newhaven Street in Thomastown where a firearm was allegedly discharged into a home and Molotov cocktail thrown on 24 October about midnight.
There were also two alleged attempted carjackings in Werribee yesterday in Vincent Crescent at about 1.15pm, and Slattery Street at about 1.30pm that could be linked.
The Thomastown and Lalor teens remain in hospital and are expected to be interviewed in relation to the incidents today.
