Two teens arrested in allegedly stolen car

Two Melton teenagers have been arrested in an allegedly stolen car travelling double the speed limit in Kalkallo on Monday morning.

Police spotted an allegedly stolen Mitsubishi Lancer travelling at more than 140km/h on the Tullamarine Freeway at Moonee Ponds shortly after 12am.

After an attempted intercept of the vehicle, police then spotted the same car on Hume Highway at Somerton allegedly travelling 150km/h in an 80km/h zone 30 minutes later.

Police then successfully deployed stop sticks on Lithgow Street in Beveridge, but despite a blown out-tyre, the car continued onto the Hume Freeway.

With the assistance of the Air Wing overhead, officers were guided to Patterson Street in Kalkallo where the two occupants fled on foot and were arrested after a short foot chase.

A machete was allegedly found in the vehicle.

Police charged a 17-year-old Brookfield boy with theft of motor vehicle, negligently dealing with proceeds of crime, possessing a controlled weapon (machete), speeding dangerously, unlicensed driving and other traffic offences.

A 16-year-old boy from Melton South was charged with theft of a motor vehicle.

The car was allegedly stolen from a North Melbourne address on September 23.
