A driver fleeing police crashed a stolen car into a Dandenong roundabout, police allege.
They charged the 25-year-old Doveton man with evading police and traffic offences following the Sunday 7 May incident.
Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Senior Constable Kim Alp said officers saw the white Honda Civic travelling north on Pickett Street about 11.55pm.
She said the driver appeared to spot the police car and took off.
Police allegedly saw the vehicle lose control and crash into a roundabout at Railway Parade.
They allege the driver and two passengers ran from the car, which had false number plates.
Police gave chase and arrested the driver.
The canine unit attended a short time later and arrested one of the passengers.
