Members working Operation Nighthawk have charged two men and seized drugs and ammunition after they pulled over a car in Dallas last night.
One of the men first came to police attention on Reservoir Drive, when the car he was driving - a white Nissan Qashqai - was allegedly involved in a collision about 9.55pm.
The driver was seen leaving the area at a fast rate of speed towards Meadow Heights.
Police tried to intercept the Nissan at the Hume Highway and Barry Road intersection in Dallas before the driver speed off and allegedly travelled on the wrong side of Barry Road.
The Air Wing spotted a black BMW driving in convoy with the Nissan in Blair Street before both vehicles pulled into a shopping centre carpark. The driver of the Nissan jumped out of his car and into the BMW.
A member from the Dog Squad and an Operation Nighthawk team intercepted the BMW at the intersection of Barry Road and Blair Street in Dallas.
A subsequent search of the vehicle uncovered a quantity of suspected methylamphetamine and ammunition.
Both men aged 30, from Dallas and Meadow Heights, were arrested at the scene.
The Dallas man has been charged with dangerous driving while pursued by police, reckless conduct endangering serious injury, speed dangerous, traffick and possess a drug of dependence and commit indictable offence whilst on bail.
The man remains in custody pending a remand hearing.
The Meadow Heights man has been charged with traffick and possess a drug of dependence, handle stolen goods, going quipped to steal, possess suspected proceeds of crime and possess cartridge ammunition.
He has been bailed to appear before Broadmeadows Magistrates' Court on 24 November.
The arrests form part of Operation Nighthawk, which sees uniform police, detectives and highway patrol officers from the Hume area, along with the Dog Squad and Air Wing - saturate the northern suburbs.
The operation focuses on detecting stolen vehicles in the Broadmeadows and Craigieburn areas, recovering those vehicles and holding offenders to account.
