Police overnight charged a man following a crash in an allegedly stolen car in Ashburton last night.
The allegedly stolen silver MG station wagon was sighted on Wellington Road in Mulgrave about 10.15pm.
Police attempted to intercept the MG, before the driver allegedly refused to pull over, taking off at speed.
It is alleged that the MG was then seen speeding near the intersection of Blackburn Road and Monash Freeway in Glen Waverley about 10.20pm.
The Air Wing was called in and spotted the vehicle travelling citybound on the freeway, reaching alleged speeds of 170km/hr.
The MG was allegedly seen driving erratically and at speed through Chadstone and Ashwood.
The allegedly stolen vehicle travelled through Ashburton, before officers successfully deployed stop sticks on Warrigal Road.
The MG allegedly continued to drive before crashing into a fence on Gloucester Road and being dumped by the driver.
Police moved in and arrested a man, allegedly running from the car on High Street Road.
Investigators allege that the MG was stolen from a Boronia address last week.
There were no injuries.
A 31-year-old man was charged with reckless conduct endangering serious injury, theft of a motor vehicle and several driving offences.
He was bailed to appear before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on September 25.
