Pair Nabbed After Pursuit Through Melbourne Southeast

Police have arrested two men following an extended follow in two different allegedly stolen vehicles in Melbourne's southeast this afternoon.

A white Haval Jolion was tracked by its owner after it was allegedly stolen from a Doveton address overnight.

The Haval avoided stop sticks being deployed on Power Road and Princes Highway, Doveton and Kidds Road, Doveton.

The driver who was the sole occupant in the Haval dumped the vehicle on Dulnain Close, Hampton Park, before getting into another allegedly stolen vehicle, a black Volkswagen Golf driven by another man.

The VW was tracked by the police Air Wing to Harmon Close, Berwick where both men fled inside a residence.

A 27-year-old Hampton Park man was swiftly arrested inside the residence.

The second man was seen jumping fences before jumping onto the roof of a residence in Lyndal Court.

A 29-year-old Hampton Park man eventually surrendered and was taken into custody without incident.

A third allegedly stolen Holden Commodore was located in the garage of the residence on Harmon Close.

The pair are expected to be interviewed later this afternoon.

The VW was allegedly stolen from a residential in Prahran on 29 April.

The Holden Commodore was allegedly stolen from an address in Hallam on 3 May.
