Five teenagers have been arrested following an alleged aggravated burglary in Waurn Ponds this morning (30 May).
Investigators have been told two males armed with knives allegedly broke into a home on Rene Street about 12.10am and demanded keys to a white Mercedes.
An occupant of the home, a 29-year-old man, was also allegedly assaulted and his vehicle stolen.
The victim sustained minor injuries.
The car was later spotted by police about 12.30am on Barrabool Road and allegedly failed to stop when officers attempted to intercept.

A number of youths allegedly fled the vehicle on foot.
An 18-year-old Bannockburn woman, 16-year-old North Geelong girl and 15-year-old Grovedale girl were arrested nearby.
