Two men have been arrested after allegedly trying to sell stolen baby formula from the boot of a car in Melbourne’s west.

A “pop-up” store has been shuttered in Melbourne’s west with two men arrested for allegedly selling stolen baby formula.

The men, both aged in their 30s, were arrested on Sunday evening outside the Keilor Plains Railway Station in St Albans after they were allegedly attempting to sell items out of a car boot.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman said investigators believed the pair were selling items including toothbrushes and tins of baby formula to people passing by.
