Three people have been arrested in Mornington following a dramatic hour-long car and foot chase which involved police dogs.

Just before 2.20am on Monday morning, police attempted to pull over a Holden Commodore station wagon with stolen number plates coming out of a service station on Mornington-Tyabb Road.

The trio will be interviewed in relation to a number of theft and traffic offences.

The driver unsuccessfully attempted to ram the police car before driving off.

Police followed the car and it stopped on the Frankston-Dandenong Road near the Peninsula Link overpass.
