Victoria Police arrested six individuals, including four teenagers aged 16 and 17 and two adults aged 19 and 20, following a car chase that closed five lanes on the Eastlink and Monash Freeways in Melbourne. The arrests were made after the suspects stole two vehicles from a home in Brighton East and used them in another break-in some 30km away. Police found what appeared to be a sword inside one of the stolen cars during the arrest, which took place around midday on Tuesday.

Story summary
On Tuesday morning around 5:30 AM, police responded to an aggravated burglary in Brighton East, Melbourne. Two vehicles—a Nissan Patrol and an Audi SQ5—were stolen from the residence during the break-in. The thefts led to another incident about 7:45 AM at a home in Hampton Park, approximately 30 kilometers east of Brighton East. Following this, the stolen Nissan was observed driving erratically through Doveton and then monitored by police Air Wing across multiple suburbs before being intercepted on the Monash Freeway near Chadstone around midday. Special operations units conducted the arrest, resulting in six people—including four teenage boys aged 16 and 17 and two adults aged 19 and 20—being apprehended from inside the vehicle. One officer retrieved what appeared to be a sword from one of the stolen cars. The arrests caused traffic disruption as all outbound lanes on the Monash Freeway were closed until around 1 PM.
