Police arrest six in stolen car in Hallam

Southern Metro Crime Team detectives, with the assistance of canine units, local police and Air Wing, have arrested six offenders in a stolen car in Hallam this morning.

Police first sighted the allegedly stolen Jeep Cherokee at an oval on Frawley Road around 9.20am.

The teens then attempted to flee the area before police deployed stop sticks on Frawley Road.

The driver of the Jeep appears to have lost control before the vehicle, hit a parked police car and tree and came to rest on the footpath.

The teens fled the stolen car before police arrested all six nearby.

No-one was injured as a result of the incident.

Two 15-year-old Hallam boys, a 16-year-old Narre Warren girl, a 15-year-old Cranbourne South girl, a 16-year-old Bayswater North girl and a 14-year-old Springvale boy are currently assisting police with their enquiries.

The car was allegedly stolen from an aggravated burglary in Beaumaris on Friday, 6 May.
