TWO teenagers have been arrested in relation to an alleged carjacking and police car ramming.

Police say they spotted a Toyota Hilux, allegedly stolen from Frankston the night before, driving erratically along Moorooduc Highway in Frankston South at around 12.30pm on 4 January. They managed to stop the car using tyre deflation devices, and a passenger allegedly fled on foot.

Police say the passenger who ran used a hammer to attempt to carjack another car. He was promptly arrested.

The driver stayed in the vehicle and allegedly drove it into a police car before running. He was arrested a short time later.

A 19-year-old Narre Warren North man and a 15-year-old Hastings boy were arrested.

Anyone who witnessed the incident can assist with the investigation by contacting Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au.
