Two youths were charged after driving dangerously through the northern suburbs overnight on October 10.

Police Air Wing spotted an allegedly stolen black Holden Cruze wagon recklessly driving on High Street, Lalor, just before midnight.

The Holden allegedly reached speeds of up to 180km/hr.

The wagon exited onto Keilor Park Drive, Keilor East and came to a stop.

The driver and passenger surrendered to police and were arrested at the scene.

A 17-year-old Lalor youth and a 16-year-old Mernda youth were charged with several offences including theft of a motor vehicle.

The 17-year-old will also face court on multiple driving offences.

The boys will appear at a children’s dourt at a later date.
