Share this @internewscast.com
A group of teenage boys have been released from police custody pending summons, after they allegedly stole a gym patron’s car and led police on a wild chase through Melbourne’s south-east.

It is claimed that the group used a stolen access card to gain entry to a gym in Wantirna at approximately 11:30 pm last night.

Once inside, they reportedly stole the keys to a gym member’s Mazda 3.

The group allegedly used a stolen pass to enter a gym near the corner of Mountain Highway and Thaxted Parade in Wantirna about 11.30 last night. (Nine)

Officers swiftly arrived at the gym’s parking area and apprehended one of the individuals involved.

The remaining offenders avoided capture, allegedly dropping a machete as they fled in the stolen Mazda.

The car was then tracked to the Dandenong area about 1am, where it was travelling southbound on Eastlink.

The Mazda then began driving in convoy with another allegedly stolen car, both speeding through Seaford.

Stop sticks were deployed on Cranbourne Road.

The Mazda continued to drive and was allegedly dumped near Moate Street a short time later.

Officers searched the area and arrested two males, one of whom had climbed onto a nearby roof.

Police cornered one teen in a Langwarrin driveway. (Nine)

“We heard the commotion of ‘get on the ground, get on the ground’,” a nearby resident said.

“For it to happen out the front of home, yeah, it was a little bit scary.”

The second car, a blue Toyota Echo was dumped in Kerry Street, Langwarrin, where three males allegedly tried to flee on foot.

They were quickly arrested at the scene.

The Toyota was allegedly stolen from Mont Albert earlier this week.

The six teens are aged between 15 and 18 and are mostly from the Boroondara area.

They have all been interviewed and released pending summons.

The investigation remains ongoing.
