Two teenage boys have been charged after police foiled two attempted carjackings in Melbourne’s east overnight.

Late last night, a dramatic sequence unfolded on Seymour Street in Ringwood as police reported that two teenagers allegedly attempted a carjacking spree around 11:15 p.m. Witnesses played a crucial role in the unfolding events, providing live updates to the authorities as the incidents progressed.

The police, acting swiftly on the real-time information, managed to intervene during the second alleged carjacking attempt. Their timely response led to the apprehension of the suspected individuals at the scene. This decisive action effectively brought the situation under control before it could escalate further.

In an effort to evade capture, one of the teenagers attempted to flee, prompting officers to deploy a taser to subdue him, according to police statements. Remarkably, no injuries were reported during the entire course of events, underscoring the effectiveness of the police operation.

One attempted to flee and a taser was used to stop him, police said.

Nobody was injured during the incident.

A 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old were interviewed by police and both were charged with attempted carjacking.

The par will appear before a children’s court today.

Another alleged carjacking took place in the same suburb later in the evening.

It is alleged a food delivery driver was sitting in his car on Lester Avenue in Ringwood when he was approached by up to four people about 2am.

Police said one of the alleged offenders opened the driver’s side door and produced an edged weapon and demanded the keys.

The driver ran into a nearby property and was not hurt.

The group then allegedly made off in the Toyota Yaris, which is yet to be located by police.

An investigation into this incident is ongoing.
