A BLACK Audi stolen from Chelsea was allegedly used to evade police last week, 11 February.
Police alleged that two 18-year-old Cranbourne men, as well as another unknown offender, stole a white Mazda CX9 and a blue Mazda 3 sedan from a Croydon home at around 10.15am. The offenders then allegedly travelled towards to south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, driving “erratically” alongside the stolen Audi Q5.
The Audi was allegedly taken from a Chelsea home on 9 February. Police say it is linked to other offenses committed in Keysborough and Glen Waverley.
Police say the driver of the white Mazda CX9 abandoned the car in Lyndhurst, and was picked up by the Audi driver.
Police eventually pulled over the car near Taylors Lakes. Police arrested an 18-year-old Cranbourne man and 18-year-old Cranbourne North man.
The blue Mazda 3 sedan is still outstanding. It has the number plate ZDP868. Anyone who spots it can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.come.au
