Four teenage boys have been arrested after a car chase through Melbourne’s eastern suburbs and into the city centre, which ended when they abandoned the allegedly stolen BMW in the middle of Bourke Street mall. Police pursued the vehicle to the central business district, where a pedestrian was allegedly struck on Exhibition Street, before the teenagers stopped the car on the busy mall and ran from the scene. The teenagers – a 15-year-old, a 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds from the Bendigo and Yarra Ranges areas – were arrested a short time later outside a shopping centre on Lonsdale Street. Police said they believed the car had allegedly been stolen on Sunday from the Boroondara local government area in Melbourne’s east. Route 86 and 96 trams were briefly suspended along Bourke Street but resumed just after 2.30pm, according to Yarra Trams.
