A woman has been charged after an allegedly stolen car was tracked from South Melbourne to Norlane last week.
The vehicle was followed to Norlane after two people were seen loitering in a suspicious manner on Friday, a man getting out of the car and attempting to carjack four different vehicles.
“It is alleged the vehicle drove into a hardware store carpark on the Princes Highway, before it nearly collided with a woman getting a pram out of her car,” police said in a statement.
“The man got out of the stolen Haval and allegedly attempted to carjack four separate vehicles.
“No one was physically injured.
“Police were quickly on scene and took the man into custody about 2.45pm.
“The woman was chased by police into the hardware store where she was arrested shortly after.”
The woman is set top face court on November 18 on charges of theft of motor vehicle and possessing a drug of dependence.
