TWO men have been arrested after an alleged theft, assault, and car chase through Carrum Downs and Frankston last week.
Police allege that a group of people inside a stolen Mini Cooper stole petrol from McMahons Road in Frankston at around 10.30pm on 25 April. The group were involved in a theft and assault at a restaurant on Hall Road in Carrum Downs about half an hour later, police say.
Police say they spotted the car in Frankston at around midnight. They deployed stop sticks, but the car managed to evade them and drive onto Karingal Road.
The Mini Cooper allegedly drove on the wrong side of Karingal Road while police chased. Shortly afterwards it allegedly crashed head-on with a Hyundai sedan on Cranbourne-Frankston Road.
A 23-year-old Frankston man and a 24-year-old Morwell man were arrested at around 12.30am. The Hyundai driver was taken to hospital.
