A pair of alleged armed thugs have been accused of breaking into a Melton home armed with a sawn-off shotgun before kidnapping one of the men inside.

Two men have been accused of a horrific home invasion in Melton South where a man was allegedly kidnapped and imprisoned.

Jamie Bennett and Bojan Govedarica appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday charged with home invasion, kidnapping and assault.

The two men allegedly made their way into a Myrtle St address on September 15, 2024 armed with a sawn-off shotgun knowing the tenants were at home.

A man inside the house was then allegedly kidnapped and detained against his will.

The duo allegedly entered the Melton South home with a sawn-off shotgun.

Mr Bennett has also been accused of going on a car-stealing crime spree in Bentleigh East on December 10, allegedly stealing four cars, including a grey BMW 220i sedan from Ramkrishna Pty Ltd valued at $30,000 and a 2017 blue Honda CRV wagon valued at $45,000.

Mr Bennett was charged by Armed Crime Squad detectives a day after his alleged crime spree, with Mr Govedarica’s Sydenham address raided just more than a month later.

Police will allege Mr Govedarica was dealing drugs after they allegedly seized large quantities of drugs during the raids.

Mr Govedarica was charged by police with trafficking GHB, ketamine and MDMA.

Mr Govedarica was also allegedly found in possession of Diazepam, cannabis and Viagra.

Mr Bennett, 35, and Mr Govedarica, 43, who both appeared in court from prison, will front court again on May 2.
