Police have arrested three people and recovered an allegedly stolen vehicle in Hoppers Crossing this afternoon.
Officers responded to reports of a white Holden Commodore driving erratically, mounting gutters and crashing into a parked unoccupied vehicle on Market Road in Werribee about 2.30pm.
It is alleged the Holden took off from the crash and continued to drive to Hoppers Crossing.
Reports indicated the Holden had damage to the front of the vehicle and smoke was coming from the engine block.
The Holden pulled over near the intersection of Bolger Crescent and Spring Drive and it’s alleged one of the occupants was seen jumping on the bonnet of the car.
Police quickly moved in before the Holden allegedly took off again, resulting in one of the occupants, a man, falling from the moving vehicle.
The Holden came to a complete stop and officers attempted to arrest the three alleged occupants.
One male allegedly refused to follow police direction and officers deployed a taser.
The three alleged occupants, two men and a teenage girl, were arrested.
The men were taken to hospital for minor injuries under police guard and a 15-year-old girl remains in custody.
The trio will be interviewed by investigators.
Officers seized a machete and a long kitchen knife at the scene.
It is alleged the Holden was stolen from a Hawthorn address early hours on Friday morning.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, with footage or further information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
