Two people have been charged after a police car was allegedly rammed in Blackburn last night.
Officers in an unmarked car were patrolling Whitehorse Road about 9.50pm on 29 June when they observed a black Holden Commodore ute allegedly speeding along Whitehorse Road.
Police followed the Commodore to the rear carpark of a nearby hotel, where it allegedly did a number of laps around the carpark before stopping.
Officers pulled up behind the ute and activated their lights.
It is alleged the driver of the ute immediately reversed into the front of the police car and continued accelerating, causing the wheels of the Holden to spin.
The driver, a 37-year-old Parkville man, and his passenger, a 27-year-old Blackburn North woman, were arrested at the scene.
The Parkville man was charged with theft of motor vehicle, recklessly expose emergency worker to risk by driving, disqualified driving, refusing an oral fluid test and affixing false plates.
The Blackburn North woman was charged with theft of motor vehicle, drug possession and drug trafficking offences.
Both were bailed to appear in Ringwood Magistrates' Court in October.
It will be alleged the vehicle was stolen from a property in Ballarat on 22 June.
