In the southeast region of Melbourne, four juveniles are in custody following an alleged carjacking.
At around 10 o’clock last night, three juveniles approached the alleged victim as he sat in his car in a Cheltenham shopping center parking lot on the Nepean Highway, according to the police.
He was forcibly removed from his grey Mazda automobile after allegedly being threatened with two pairs of scissors.
After that, the teens allegedly got in his car and drove away, picking up two more teens along the way.
In Dandenong, at the crossroads of Cheltenham Road and Hammond Road, the abandoned vehicle was subsequently discovered.
Two juveniles, both aged fourteen, were apprehended after they presented themselves to a Protective Services Officer at a neighboring rail station.
An formal caution for vehicle theft was issued to each of them before their release.
At three in the morning on that very night, police in Dandenong apprehended a youngster aged fourteen and a lad aged sixteen on Lonsdale Street.
They are currently being questioning by law enforcement, who want to press charges of aggravated carjacking and vehicle theft.
Today, a motion will be filed to remand the boys in custody. One adolescent has evaded authorities thus far.
