Teens arrested over carjacking attempts

By CASEY NEILL

Police have arrested two teens over attempted carjackings in Keysborough.
A 14-year-old from Patterson Lakes and a Keysborough 16-year-old will answer charges over armed robbery-related offences.
Officers apprehended the pair when they pulled up at Parkmore Shopping Centre in Kingsclere Avenue, Keysborough, just after 3am on Monday 30 May.
They were in a Ford Falcon stolen from outside a Frankston home on Sunday 29 May.
Sergeant Andrew Payne said it was linked to “a series of attempted armed robberies” in Keylana Drive, Keysborough, later that day.
Police arrested one of the boys at the scene.
The other ran, jumping fences as he fled, but officers cordoned the area and with help from the Canine Unit arrested the boy in a Kingsclere Avenue home’s rear yard.
