TWO teenagers have been arrested over a number of robberies in Melbourne’s south east arranged on social media.

Police searched homes on Burberry Place, Cranbourne; Foster Street, Dandenong; and Dusseldorp Avenue, Pakenham last night as part of an ongoing investigation.

Victoria Police spokeswoman Natalie Butler said detectives seized several allegedly stolen mobile phones and a car in the raids.

“The investigation relates to a number of alleged robberies that investigators believe were arranged via social media over the past few weeks,” she said.

A 17-year-old will face the children’s court after her was charged with a number of offences, including multiple counts of robbery and theft.

A 19-year-old Dandenong man is expected to be charged on summons, also with robbery and theft-related offences.

Police expect more arrests to be made over the robberies.
