Carjacking arrest made
1 min read

A man has been charged in relation to an aggravated carjacking in a Warragul carpark in September.
Baw Baw Crime Investigation Unit and Fugitive Taskforce detectives arrested an 18-year-old Chelsea man at a Rosebud camping area yesterday.
He was charged with aggravated carjacking, intentionally exposing police to risk by driving, arson, threats to kill and theft.

The 18-year-old was remanded to face Frankston Magistrates' Court today.
Police allege two men, one armed with a machete, approached a 27-year-old Drouin man, in a carpark off Trumpy Lane on Tuesday, September 24 at about 10.10pm.
The Drouin man was allegedly slashed in the face before the offenders fled the scene in his 2014 Holden Commodore.
It is alleged the pair also confronted a 19-year-old Warragul woman sitting in her vehicle in the carpark. She was uninjured but her car was damaged.
Police reported they later attempted to intercept the Holden in Narracan Drv, Moe.
It is alleged the car drove onto the wrong side of the road and rammed into a police vehicle before fleeing. The two police officers inside were uninjured.
The Holden was later found burnt out in Graduation Pl, Churchill.
Baw Baw CIU detectives were assisted by Fugitive Taskforce in the investigation.
Investigations in relation to the second man remain ongoing.
