Vic: Man in police pursuit to face burglary charges

Victorian police expect to charge a man arrested over two robberies and a pursuit in
Melbourne's east overnight.

The man was taken to hospital in a stable condition after he rolled his car at the
corner of Blackburn Road and the Eastern Freeway in Doncaster.

Police allege the man robbed a business in Clayton, in Melbourne's south-east about
9pm (AEDT) and that he was later disturbed by a security guard during a second burglary
at an electrical shop at Mount Waverley shopping centre.

A police spokesman says the police air wing helped locate the man's car but he escaped
after twice ramming the police car sent to intercept him.

Police units closed in on him at Doncaster, where a short time later he rolled his car.

Police hope to speak to the man about the burglaries today.
