Five teenagers including a 13-year-old boy have been charged after an alleged home invasion in Melbourne's inner east.
The offenders allegedly gained access to a home at Tower Place in Hawthorn East between Monday night and Tuesday morning.
Police believe a 2019 Mercedes GLC350 wagon along with a range of other personal items were allegedly stolen by the offenders.
The five teenagers were arrested by investigators on the Princess Highway in Pakenham about 10.45am yesterday.
The allegedly stolen vehicle was found in Springvale, just hours later.
A 13-year-old Seaford boy, a 15-year-old Springvale South boy, a 15-year-old Cranbourne North boy, a 13-year-old Doveton boy and a 16-year-old Pakenham boy have all been charged with home invasion, theft of a motor vehicle, theft and bail offences.
They will face a children's court at a later date.
