Two Arrested After Stolen Subaru Joyride Swap

Two men have been arrested after an extended follow in Melbourne's southeast overnight.

The Air Wing first spotted the allegedly stolen Subaru Outback driving erratically on South Road in Bentleigh about 1.50am.

The vehicle was followed across Bentleigh, Ormond, Carnegie, Murrumbeena and Hughesdale, where it briefly stopped on Kangaroo Road.

The driver and passenger swapped before it continued travelling through Chadstone, Caulfield and Malvern.

The vehicle stopped on Glenferrie Road, dropping the passenger near Haverbrack Avenue, before continuing.

Police successfully deployed stock sticks on Malvern Road near Wattletree Road in Malvern East before the vehicle came to a stop on Wynyeh Street.

The driver fled on foot and hid in nearby bushes, before the Air Wing guided Dog Squad and other members to his location.

Both men, a 41-year-old from Balwyn North and 42-year-old of no fixed address, were arrested and will be interviewed.
