Police say they were alerted an attempted car theft in Essendon about 1.30am on Monday 24 June.
A vehicle seen at the scene was later spotted by police in Albert Street, Preston about 1.45am.

Police successfully deployed vehicle-immobilising devices on Springvale Road about 2.45am.
The car was brought to a halt in Brandon Park, where three boys were arrested.
