Moorabbin Crime Investigation Unit detectives have arrested six youths following an alleged attempted aggravated carjacking in Cheltenham on Saturday 12 August.
Investigators allege five males, and one female approached a stationary vehicle in a fast-food carpark on the Nepean Highway about 7.45pm.
It’s alleged the group opened the vehicle’s door, grabbed the driver and pulled him out of the car.

The victim sustained a slash to his arm and a puncture wound to his back.
He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The offenders fled on foot empty handed.
Six teenagers were located and arrested nearby a short time later and are currently assisting police with their enquiries.
