Arrests following Point Cook carjacking

Geelong Crime Investigation Unit detectives have arrested four people following an alleged aggravated carjacking in Point Cook last month.

It is understood a group approached a vehicle parked on Adelphi Boulevard about 9.50pm on Thursday, 24 April.

Police will allege one of the males threatened the female passenger with an edged weapon, before they fled in the Toyota Prius.

The driver was not inside the vehicle at the time, and the female passenger managed to flee.

No one was physically injured.

A 15-year-old Little River boy has since been charged with two counts of aggravated carjacking, armed robbery, theft, and theft of motor vehicle.

He was remanded in custody to appear before a children’s court at a later date.

A 13-year-old Little River boy and a 16-year-old Traralgon girl were both released pending summons.

A 15-year-old Dandenong male was cautioned in relation to the incident.
