Teens arrested after armed ‘cab-jacking’ in Dandenong

Three teenagers have been arrested after the alleged armed carjacking of a taxi in Dandenong.

Police were called to Dandenong railway station about 2.50am on Friday 27 February after reports that a man and a woman had stolen a cab.

Officers were allegedly told the pair threatened the driver with a knife and were last seen headed out of Dandenong.

Shortly after the incident, motorists reported to Triple Zero (000) a taxi had crashed into a barrier on the Princes Highway entry to the South Gippsland Highway.

Three people were seen running from the scene.

Operation Trinity units along with a Dog Squad member and canine searched for the trio before they were found near Doveton Avenue in Eumemmering.

Two females and a male, aged 15, 16 and 16 were arrested.

They were set to be interviewed by Greater Dandenong CIU detective.
