Youth arrested in stolen vehicle after crash in Southbank

A teenager is in custody following a collision in an allegedly stolen vehicle in Southbank overnight.

Police were called to a collision where the allegedly stolen silver Mercedes sedan crashed into another vehicle, pushing it into a business shop front on City Road just before 10.30pm.

It’s understood the Mercedes was involved in a police ramming in Hughesdale just hours prior, after crashing into a bus on North Road about 9pm.

The female driver failed to stop and reversed into a police vehicle while fleeing the scene.

A second collision with the vehicle was reported in Murrumbeena, where it crashed into a fence on Gerald Street.

A 17-year-old Ballarat girl was taken to hospital under police guard.

No one was injured as a result of the incidents.

The Mercedes is believed to have been stolen during an aggravated burglary in Berwick on Monday.

Moorabbin Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating.

Investigators urge anyone with information, dashcam or who may have witnessed the incident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
