Police have arrested three men and one woman after evading police throughout Melbourne’s northern and western suburbs this morning.
Officers were called to reports of a group of people attempting to break into properties along Glenelg Street about 3.45am.
It is believed that the group fled the scene in two vehicles, one of which was a blue Volkswagen Passat.
With the assistance of Airwing, the Volkswagen was seen travelling at a fast rate of speed north on Sydney Road.
The Volkswagen continued along the Tullamarine Freeway to Airport Drive, where it was dumped.
Police believe that the occupants then took off in a white Mitsubishi Triton.
Despite officers successfully deploying tyre deflation devices on the Mitsubishi on Sharps Road in Tullamarine, the vehicle continued to drive.
The Nissan exited at Sydney Road and its occupants dumped the vehicle in a carpark near the intersection of Mahoney’s Road.
Police swiftly arrested a man at the scene.
The remaining occupants of the Nissan were spotted getting into a blue Ford Territory.
The Ford took off at a fast rate of speed, ramming a police vehicle then continuing east along Mahoney’s Road.
No one was injured as a result of the ramming.
The Ford was later seen travelling west on the Western Ring Road and then dumped on Pearson Crescent in Coolaroo.
Officers moved in quickly and arrested a man and a woman.
Another man was arrested shortly after on Glenelg Street.
A 34-year-old Roxburgh Park man, a 37-year-old Preston West woman, a 33-year-old Broadmeadows man and a 35-year-old Craigieburn man are all in police custody and will be interviewed this morning.
Police believe that the Mitsubishi was stolen from an address in Mickleham in August and the Ford was displaying false plates.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, has dashcam/CCTV footage or information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
