Two Hastings men, both aged 39, have been charged with burglary, theft, criminal damage, commit indictable offence whilst on bail and contravene bail conditions, after being arrested this morning.
Their arrest, after two search warrants were executed at Hastings properties, follow a series of ram raids across bayside Melbourne and the peninsula.

Two men allegedly entered the store and stole numerous items before returning to the vehicle and driving off.
They have both been remanded to appear in Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 5 and 10 June.
