TWO teenagers have been arrested in relation to an alleged crime spree across Chelsea Heights, Keysborough, and Murrembeena this month.
Police say three vehicles were stolen from a Murrembeena property overnight between 9 December and 10 December.
In the early hours of 11 December, three people allegedly used edged weapons to demand cash from staff at a fast-food restaurant on Cheltenham Avenue in Keysborough. Cash was allegedly taken from the registers before the trio left in a silver MG car allegedly taken from Murrembeena the day prior.
At around 1.40am on 13 December, the same people allegedly used edged weapons to threaten an off-duty staff member at a fast-food restaurant on Egret Drive, Chelsea Heights. They allegedly stole cash and a credit card before fleeing in the silver MG car.
A 15-year-old boy was arrested in Roxburgh Park and a 14-year-old boy was arrested in Seymour on 14 December.
Police have asked any witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
