A recent incident in Melbourne's south-east has been captured on camera by the Police Air Wing. The footage shows a group of six teenagers in a stolen car attempting to flee from officers after a high-speed police pursuit. The main suspect, a 16-year-old boy from Glen Iris, has been charged with several offenses, including theft of a motor vehicle and dangerous driving while pursued by police.
The pursuit began in the early hours of the morning when police noticed a stolen Porsche driving erratically on the Monash Freeway. The vehicle, with all six teenagers inside, was reportedly traveling at speeds of up to 240 km/hr. The Air Wing closely monitored the Porsche's movements and eventually tracked it to Huntingfield Road in Toorak. With the help of stop sticks, the officers were able to safely stop the vehicle.
The chase came to an end in Queens Avenue in Caulfield East, where residents were awakened by the commotion. One resident, Gary Heath, described the scene as chaotic, with helicopters flying overhead and people shouting and running around. He expressed his concern about the motives of the teenagers and their presence in the neighborhood.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the alleged driver, the 16-year-old boy, was out on bail at the time of the incident. He has been charged with multiple offenses and has been remanded until the end of the month when he will appear in court. Another 15-year-old boy from Dingley Village has also been charged with theft of a motor vehicle and will appear in a children's court at a later date. The remaining four girls, all aged 14, were released with a caution.
Police believe that the stolen Porsche was taken from a property in Kew East on October 29. They also mentioned that a large percentage of aggravated burglaries in the east and south-east region are a result of people leaving their cars and doors unlocked. This incident serves as a reminder for everyone to take the necessary precautions to ensure their safety and the security of their property.
