THE police Air Wing and Dog Squad were called in to help Frankston detectives arrest a 14-year-old boy in Mornington on Wednesday night.
He was later charged with 29 offences, including serious assault, aggravated burglary, evading police, and car stealing.
While running from police the boy was bitten on the leg by a police dog and required to spend the night at Frankston hospital.
He was charged next morning and remanded to appear at a children’s court at a date to be fixed.
The boy, along with a 17-year-old male and two 15-year-old girls, was intercepted while driving an $80,000 Mercedes stolen during an aggravated robbery at Brighton on Saturday 18 July.
Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Alastair Hanson, of Frankston CIU, said the car was spotted travelling south along Nepean Hwy and the Police Air Wing and Dog Squad alerted.
The 17-year-old, of Patterson Lakes, was charged with car theft and also remanded to appear at a children’s court later this month.
The girls were also charged with car theft and bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court at a later date.
Police will allege the 14-year-old was one of two males who punched and stomped on an 18-year-old Mt Martha man outside a party in Alicudi Av, Frankston, on Saturday 18 July.
The man was knocked unconscious and spent the night at Dandenong hospital with cuts requiring stitches, facial bruising and a broken nose.
