Seven teenagers have been arrested following two separate incidents in Melbourne.
Early on Thursday morning a car smashed into a home opposite Southland shopping centre in the city's southeast.
Officers allegedly saw the vehicle run red lights in Dandenong and followed it for about 15 kilometres across several suburbs before deploying stopsticks.
The car continued on but eventually the driver lost control and the vehicle hit a home in Highett.
Police said a 14-year-old Frankston boy and 13-year-old Hampton East boy inside the car were not hurt and had been assisting with the investigation.
Just over 24 hours earlier, five teenage girls were arrested after police tracked an allegedly stolen car from North Melbourne to Carlton.
Two 16-year-olds from Deer Park and Fitzroy North were charged with theft of a motor vehicle and committing an indictable offence on bail.
A 16-year-old from Melton West was charged with theft of motor vehicle and a 15-year-old from Brookfield was charged with the same offence, as well as burglary and two counts of obtaining property by deception.
Another 16-year-old from Melton West was released pending summons.
