Two teens arrested after aggravated burglary in Manor Lakes

Police have arrested a 15-year-old Hoppers Crossing girl and a 16-year-old girl from Werribee following an aggravated burglary in Manor Lakes.

Investigators have been told a resident at a Canons Court address heard a noise at the front of his residence about 2am.

Police were able to intercept the car and arrested the occupants.
