Vic duo charged over stolen car, firearms

A Melbourne man and a 17-year-old boy have been charged after allegedly stealing a car and firearms in separate burglaries.

Police says they found the duo driving an allegedly stolen Mercedes and followed them from Langwarrin to Richmond where they dumped it and ran early on Saturday morning.

Two bags containing firearms were then found inside the vehicle.

The 25-year-old Chelsea Heights man and the Frankston teen were arrested a short time later after they were tracked down by the dog squad.

The Mercedes was allegedly stolen from an aggravated burglary at Hawthorn East on Thursday while the firearms were allegedly stolen in another aggravated burglary at Donvale on Wednesday. No one was injured during either alleged burglary.

The pair were charged with 17 offences including aggravated burglary, car theft and firearm theft.

The 25-year-old will face Melbourne Magistrates Court on Saturday, while the teen will face the Children's Court on a later date.
