Four males have been arrested after an extended follow throughout Melbourne's Southeastern suburbs this morning.
Police sighted an allegedly stolen Toyota Landcruiser Prado travelling at a fast rate of speed on Beach Road near the intersection with Charman Road in Beaumaris about 1.40am.
With the assistance of the Police Air Wing, the vehicle was tracked through Parkdale and Dandenong, before allegedly travelling contraflow on the South Gippsland Highway at speeds of up to 170km/h.
The offenders were unaware the road was closed near the intersection with Fisheries Road and as they were travelling contraflow, the vehicle collided with water barriers and cyclone fencing that were being used to close the road for roadworks.
The vehicle travelled for a short distance, before the offenders allegedly dumped the vehicle and fled on foot, uniform members, with the assistance of the Air Wing and Dog Squad, arrested all four offenders.
The offenders, aged between 23 and 25 will now be interviewed in relation to the incident.
It is understood the Toyota Landcruiser was stolen from Glen Iris on 25 October.
The investigation remains ongoing.
