Police calling for witnesses to erratic driving

Police are appealing for witnesses following the arrest of a man allegedly driving erratically in a stolen vehicle from Geelong to Werribee yesterday.

Police observed an allegedly stolen black Hyundai hatchback at the Plantation Road-Henty Street roundabout in Corio at 5.30pm.

The Hyundai hit the police vehicle as police attempted to intercept it, before allegedly speeding off.

The Air Wing tracked the vehicle from Geelong, observing it speeding and being involved in a number of collisions and near-misses.

The vehicle broke down on Princes Highway in Werribee where the offender was arrested.

The 20-year-old Corio man is currently assisting police with enquiries.

Anyone who observed the black Hyundai driving erratically or who has dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at crimestoppersvic.com.au.
