Pair charged after drugs, cash and cloned plates seized from stolen car

Police have charged a man and woman after drugs, cash and cloned plates were seized from an allegedly stolen car in Tullamarine this morning.

A 19-year old Seddon woman has been charged with theft of motor vehicle and unrelated offences.

A 26-year-old Mickleham man has been charged with theft of motor vehicle and committing an indictable offence whilst on bail.

Officers allegedly spotted the pair travelling south on Sydney Road with suspected cloned plates about 2.20am.

With assistance from the Air Wing, police followed the car through Glenroy and Broadmeadows into Keilor East.

Stop sticks were successfully deployed on Sterling Drive and the car came to a rolling stop on South Centre Road in Tullamarine.

Police searched the vehicle and seized suspected cloned plates, a quantity of cash and drugs.

The car was allegedly stolen from a property in St Kilda East on July 24.

They have both been remanded to appear at Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court later today.
