Two men have been charged following an alleged burglary in Portarlington early this morning.
A 30-year-old from Thomson and a 36-year-old from Portland have been charged with burglary, theft and dangerous driving whist being pursued by police.
The charges follow an incident where it is alleged four men smashed their way into a bottle shop on Newcombe Street shortly before 1am, before allegedly stealing a large amount of alcohol and cigarettes.
Officers arrested two of the alleged offenders in Belmont after the two fled in a stolen vehicle.
Detectives continue to investigate the incident and have follow up enquiries to make in relation to the other two men involved.
The pair will appear at Geelong Magistrates’ Court later today.
