A four-wheel-drive owned by AFL star Jamarra Ugle-Hagan has been used in a violent Melbourne crime spree.
The stolen Jeep was the vehicle used by masked bandits who struck in frightening stick-ups the southeastern suburbs on Saturday.
Two intruders, one with a machete, stole cigarettes after assaulting a staff member at a Beau Vorno Rd, Keysborough, business at 7.30pm.
Police said there were similar incidents at service stations in Cheltenham, Dingley Village and Braeside with a white Jeep seen at those.
Police saw it on Wells Rd in Chelsea at 9.10pm that day and tried to intercept but it failed to stop.
The Jeep was then followed by a helicopter before stop-sticks were used in Doveton.
Those on board continued travelling on flat tyres until reaching Harmsworth St, Collingwood, where they got out and ran to a park.
There were 15 males at the park who were spoken to by officers and had their details taken.
The Jeep was seized for forensic examination.
It is the second time a four-wheel-drive owned by Ugle-Hagan had been involved in a high-level crime.
Police ruled out any involvement by Ugle-Hagan in last month’s drive-by shooting at Glen Iris.
The shot, on Gardiner Rd, came from a vehicle registered to Ugle-Hagan and left a bullet-hole in a car owned by a 70-year-old man.
A Toyota utility was also stolen from Ugle-Hagan last month.
No charges have been laid.
