Casey Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged three youths following an alleged attempted home invasion in Melbourne’s southeast. Police allege that three male offenders gained access to a blue Mazda CX3 which was parked on Stakes Street about 4.40am. One of the males allegedly attempted to access a property but was ultimately unsuccessful. The group then fled towards a nearby street, where two teenagers were arrested.

 

Two 18-year-old men from Cranbourne and a 15-year-old boy from Casey were charged with attempted home invasion.
