One of two teenage girls arrested over a deadly crash involving an alleged stolen car in Melbourne's inner-east was out on bail, 9News can reveal.
The pair were part of a group of

at an intersection on Warrigal and Highbury in Burwood yesterday evening.
The impact of the collision claimed the life of the driver of the hatch, a 28-year-old man from Ashburton.

Two girls were arrested at the scene while four male teens remain on the run after fleeing on foot.
9News can reveal one of the girls was out on multiple counts of bail and the group is understood to be linked to a four-day crime spree across Melbourne's south-east.
Detective Senior Sergeant Christian Von Tunk said it was a cowardly act to flee the scene knowing someone may have been injured or killed.
"The impact was tremendous. It was a high impact, high-speed impact," Von Tunk said.
"They know someone would have been hurt in that vehicle."
Witnesses told 9News the victim's car spun through the intersection before crashing into a resident's brick fence.
"They got him out of the car, put him on the lawn tried to revive him but obviously they were unsuccessful," neighbour Peter said.
Another witness told 9News he was driving only seconds behind the Toyota while on a trip for ice cream with his wife.
"It just could have been me, I was preparing to turn right into Warragul Road waiting for the lights and then an explosion happened," he said.


where they allegedly threatened staff with machetes before stealing cigarettes.
Less than an hour later, the same group allegedly ransacked a grocer in Ripponlea.
Following the incident, the owner of the Jeep Cherokee told 9News he's now too scared to be in his own home.
"It's just a super sad situation for everyone involved, hopefully these people get caught," he said.


Police are calling on anyone who witnessed the crash or who has CCTV or dashcam footage of the incident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

I wonder what the racial background of the criminals are?

Yes sir Nail,
is this another result of the immigration experiment?
Was the dead motorist collateral damage?

Good to see some of you guys getting onside finally with some of my long-running simple ideas.... the work is slow - but I'm clearly gaining ....

Now - that Reverse Boat People Program, Banishment From The Realm for wrongdoing, Cancellation of Citizenship/Visa and Instant Deportation, town stocks and ducking pool in Canberra winters etc..... what say ye??

Some of the older punishments work wonders... as you are beginning to realise...

No news of the outcome as yet:


UPDATE:

A 17-year-old boy was arrested in Malvern East on Wednesday night and charged with culpable driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death, failing to stop and render assistance, theft of motor vehicle and unlicensed driving.



Two 15-year-old girls arrested at the scene were charged with theft of a motor vehicle and bailed to appear before a children's court at a later date.

Police Minister Anthony Carbines described the incident as a worse-nightmare scenario, with "lawlessness" and "recklessness" taking an innocent life.

"The government understands that the community is concerned that those repeat offenders continue to cause crimes, continue to grow their number of victims because they don't fear the consequences, in many cases, that are being handed out to them," he told reporters on Thursday.

"So we need to ensure courts take responsibility for explaining the decisions they make, for reflecting community's expectations and values."

Update:

channel 7 news tonight.

The court let him go on bail - insufficient evidence that he was the driver.
