The search continues for the fifth youth involved in collisions in Geelong’s CBD, with four teens arrested and interviewed.
Emergency services were called to Moorabool Street around 12:30pm on Wednesday to reports of two collisions, with five youths allegedly fleeing the scene on foot.
Four teens were arrested nearby and interviewed as passengers of the allegedly Nissan Pathfinder.
A 13-year-old boy from the Hume area, 13-year-old girl from the Whittlesea area, and 14-year-old boy from the Melton area were each issued cautions, while a 15-year-old girl from the Whittlesea area was released pending further enquiries.
The fifth youth has been identified as the driver of the Nissan and a primary person of interest, yet to be located by investigators.
Police believe the vehicle was taken from Coburg North on Wednesday morning, and are investigating if the vehicle was stolen from a person known to the driver.
It’s understood the car was then involved in multiple hit-run collisions, seen driving erratically across Keilor East, Bundoora and Mill Park.
It was then spotted in Lara, with police attempting to intercept before it took off at speed on Patullos Road just after 12pm.
The Nissan was involved in a hit-run collision at the intersection of Moorabool Street and Ryrie Street, coming to a stop after hitting another vehicle near the intersection of Myers Street.
Anyone who witnessed any of the incidents, has dashcam or CCTV footage, or has any information that may help police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
