Police arrested two Pakenham men in two stolen Subarus after a foot chase in Longwarry on Wednesday 4 June.
Officers observed the first Subaru parked on Sand Road about 8.40am and checks revealed the vehicle was allegedly stolen.
Upon sighting police, a man got out of the Subaru and began running towards a service station nearby with officers pursuing him on foot outside the store.
The man got into the passenger side of another allegedly stolen Subaru which attempted to drive off from police.
The offenders struggled to get the vehicle into gear and as the vehicle slowly rolled, police removed one man from the driver’s seat and arrested him.
In the meantime, the man in the passenger seat got out of the Subaru and attempted to flee, before he was safely arrested by police.
Stolen property, drugs and cloned plates were allegedly located during a search of both vehicles.
The 30-year-old and 34-year-old men from Pakenham are in custody where they will be interviewed.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, has CCTV/dashcam footage or information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or crimestoppersvic.com.au
