Investigators believe he was behind the wheel of the vehicle, earlier arresting a 15-year-old from the Wyndham area, accused of forcing the girl into the vehicle around 8.30am.

The younger boy was arrested on Jezebel Way, Tarneit about 12pm on the day of the incident and remanded to appear at a children’s court at a later date.

It’s believed the parties are known to each other, with the girl taken to hospital on Friday.
