A team approach from local police has seen two people arrested with assistance from both ground and sky.
Two men were charged following an attempted car theft in Rowville over the weekend.
At around 1:45am on Saturday 12 April, Rowville uniform officers discovered a white Holden Commodore with false registration plates.
It’s alleged the pair were using a remote device in an attempt to steal another vehicle. Upon realizing they had been spotted by police, the two tried to flee on foot. However, with support from the Dog Squad and Air Wing, both were quickly apprehended.
A search of the car uncovered vehicle theft tools, drugs, and weapons. Further investigation revealed the car had been stolen from a Narre Warren property the previous day.
A 25-year-old man from Myrtleford and a 27-year-old man from Seaford have been charged and released on bail. They are set to appear before the Dandenong Magistrates’ Court at a later date.
