Central Goldfields Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged two teens following an aggravated burglary in Castlemaine this morning.
It is alleged the pair gained access to a residence on Reckleben Street and stole keys to a 2025 Toyota Prado about 3am.
The Toyota was stolen and later tracked along the Calder Highway into Sunbury where stop sticks were successfully deployed on the Calder Freeway.
The Air Wing followed the vehicle along CityLink into the Melbourne CBD where it collided with a kerb at the intersection of Flinders and Spencer streets.
A 17-year-old boy from the Goldfields area and a 16-year-old boy from the Banyule area have been charged with home invasion, theft of motor vehicle, and dangerous driving while being pursued by police.
Both have been remanded to appear before a children’s court at a later date.
