Dramatic footage has emerged of a teenager being arrested after allegedly breaking into a home in Melbourne’s outer west, plunging a nearby private school into lockdown.
Thomas Carr College in Tarneit was locked down on Friday morning.
Police say three males entered the backyard of a home in Tenterfield Place in Tarneit about 7.20am on Friday.
One of the males allegedly broke into the house through a bathroom window.
The three males were then confronted by a woman and allegedly fled the scene on foot.
“She was not physically injured,” a police statement read.
No weapons were located, police confirmed.
A 19-year-old Tarneit man was arrested near the intersection of Sunset Views Boulevard and Equinox Close.
A 17-year-old male was tasered by police and treated by paramedics before also being arrested.
A 15-year-old male allegedly jumped into a rideshare vehicle, which travelled to Fifth Ave in Altona North, where he was intercepted and arrested.
Wild Polair footage showed the moment the 15-year-old was intercepted by police.
Several police cars surrounded the white rideshare vehicle on Friday morning, which pulled to the side of the road in Altona North.
Police cars surrounded the vehicle and rushed to open the doors.
Plain-clothed officers could be seen piling into the back seat as they apprehended the teen.
“The trio are expected to be interviewed,” police said.
No charges have been laid and the investigation is ongoing.
As a precaution, the private school, which is only a few streets away from the aggravated burglary, was plunged into lockdown.
