Police have arrested a man after he fled a fast-food drive thru in Altona North in an allegedly stolen truck this morning.
A white truck was stolen in Footscray about 5.15am.
The male driver didn’t get very far, making a stop at the yellow arches.
The vehicle was tracked to the fast-food restaurant on Blackshaws and Millers roads.
Police deployed stop sticks as the stolen truck left the drive thru.
With a warm breakfast – but flat tyres – the driver continued down Blackshaws Road.
He came to a stop on Chambers Road where he was arrested.
The 39-year-old Hoppers Crossing man was taken into custody where he will be interviewed.
