Teens in stolen car arrested after crash THREE teenagers from Carrum Downs, Frankston, and Bonbeach have been arrested after allegedly crashing a stolen car. Police allege the stolen Nissan Pulsar was used to ram a police car at a Bonbeach car park at around 1.30pm on 1 February. The police helicopter spotted the car on Nepean Highway in Carrum at around 3.50pm that day. They say it was later seen driving onto the Mornington Peninsula Freeway at speeds of around 150 kmph. After travelling onto Warrigal Road, the driver crashed on Fairchild Street in Heatherton. The car hit a tree. All three people inside were taken to hospital.
A 15-year-old Carrum Downs boy was alleged to be driving the car. He is under police guard in hospital. A 15-year-old boy from Frankston and an 18-year-old woman from Bonbeach were each charged with two counts of theft of motor vehicle and commit indictable offence whilst on bail. The boy was remanded to face a children’s court, and the woman was remanded to face Moorabbin Magistrates’ Court. The cars were stolen from Mt Eliza and Frankston, police say. Any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage can help with the investigation by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
