Pair charged with car thefts

Two men have been charged over a pair of stolen vehicles found by police in Clayton on Sunday 25 August.

Police say they spotted the Subaru WRX sedan and Holden ute driving in convoy near Centre Road about 7am.

The Subaru stopped at a servo on Centre Road, and both vehicles were seen at a property on Morton Street, police say.

The men allegedly fled on foot and were arrested at the property.

The Subaru was allegedly stolen from a property on Corrigan Road, Keysborough about 6am that morning and the ute stolen from a Malvern address in July.

A 25-year-old Dandenong man was charged with car theft and driving while suspended.
