WATCH: Canine and copter chase nabs alleged car thieves

A dramatic arrest involving the Air Wing and Dog Squad units unfolded near Glen Waverley late last week.

A Dog Squad unit first spotted an allegedly stolen Toyota Hilux on Ferntree Gully Road in Glen Waverley about 9pm last Friday, with an Air Wing unit then observing the vehicle entering a carpark at the Mount Waverley train station.

Officers on the ground used stop sticks to puncture all four tyres, but the driver continued to flee with the car eventually coming to a stop on Doncaster Road and the two occupants attempting to flee.

Police arrested the two 36-year-old Cranbourne men moments later without incident, later charging the pair with a range of offences, including theft of a motor vehicle and possessing methylamphetamine and other traffic-related offences.
