Police allege the car collided with another vehicle, then sped off through a petrol station.

With assistance from the police air wing, police followed the car and trailer through Endeavour Hills, Pakenham and Garfield.

The vehicle came to a stop on Nar Nar Goon-Longwarry Rd, where a man and woman got out and allegedly fled the scene on foot.

A 37-year-old Cobram woman was arrested at the scene, and has been released pending further inquiries.

A 41-year-old Cobram man was arrested nearby.

He has been charged with theft, dangerous driving while being pursued by police, reckless conduct endangering life/injury, disqualified driving, drug driving and driving an unregistered vehicle.
