Four ‘burglars’ nabbed

Four teens have been arrested by police over an alleged burglary and evasion of police.

The males stole power tools from a closed retail store on Princes Highway, Dandenong South just after 10pm on Thursday 20 May, police say.

They drove off in an allegedly stolen red Toyota, which was spotted by police patrolling in Heatherton Road, Endeavour Hills.

Police say the Toyota was being driven on the rim of one of its rear wheels, due to a blown tyre,

It drove to an address in Robinvale Court in Endeavour Hills, then 10 minutes later to a premises in nearby Belinda Court.

A male allegedly helped the group attempt to change vehicles.

Police arrested a 17-year-old and two 18-year-olds from Dandenong North and a 19-year-old Endeavour Hills man.

Several power tools believed to be stolen that night were seized from the Toyota, police say.

Any information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au
