A dramatic hour-and-a-half long police chase came to an end on top of the West Gate Bridge causing peak-hour traffic chaos on Monday.

Inbound traffic on the West Gate was banked up for about 10 kilometres to Millers Road in Altona North for more than 90 minutes following the dramatic pursuit and arrest of three teenagers.

Police pursued a green sedan travelling up to 150km/h along the Princes Freeway towards the city on Monday afternoon, following two attempted armed robberies at a jewellery store and tobacconist in Melbourne's north.

The green sedan, believed to be stolen, sped along the freeway weaving between cars.
