Police have arrested a man and a woman in South Melbourne this morning following a three-hour pursuit from Melbourne’s northern suburbs.
Police spotted a red Volkswagen Golf with false plates travelling at 180km/h in an 80km/h section of Minns Road in Kurunjang around 11.45pm last night.
Stop stix were deployed at the Coburns Road intersection, taking out two tyres.
The car slowed but refused to pull over and the Air Wing was called in.
They followed the vehicle as it drove around the Melton area, but ground units reengaged when the car went back onto the Western Highway.
The car travelled along the highway at 40-60km/h as the front wheels were down to rims.
Officers kept other traffic clear of the car as it travelled over the Westgate Freeway and out along the Monash Freeway before reaching Heatherton Road and turning around.
Stop stix were again deployed at the Domain Tunnel and the car stopped near Montague Street in South Melbourne just before 3am.
Police arrested a 27-year-old Fawkner man and a 23-year-old Maryborough woman at the scene.
No one was injured during the incident
