Six teenagers have been charged after what’s believed to have been one of the state’s longest police car chases.

It’s been revealed one of the teens, 14, had been previously arrested almost 400 times but all the charges had been struck out due to his age.

Another boy, 16, was charged over an alleged hit and run on a cyclist in Beaumaris.

The teens were arrested on Friday morning following a police chase of an allegedly stolen BMW that began in Cranbourne at 1.15am and lasted 4½ hours.

Police used stop sticks along Church St and the Monash Freeway, and then again in Glen Iris. The SUV kept going through the city’s bayside suburbs, then back through Keysborough, continuing on its rims before it caught fire and came to a stop on Foster Rd in Dandenong.
