A 22-year-old Frankston man has been charged following an alleged home invasion in Mount Eliza in the early hours of Saturday 24 January 2026, during which a high-performance vehicle was stolen, Victoria Police said.
Police allege the man unlawfully entered a residence on Glen Shian Lane at about 3am, while occupants were inside the home. A wallet and the keys to a silver Porsche were allegedly taken during the incident. Residents were not physically injured, police said.
Following a Triple Zero call from the property, officers from Mornington Peninsula Crime Investigation Unit and local response teams responded to reports of the burglary. A short time later, police observed the stolen Porsche being driven through Chelsea.
Victoria Police said units followed the vehicle to Parry Court in Carrum Downs, where officers intercepted the vehicle and arrested the man without further incident. A wallet believed to be taken during the burglary was recovered at the scene.
The man has been charged with aggravated burglary, theft of motor vehicle, and driving while disqualified, Victoria Police confirmed.
He was remanded to appear before Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 27 January 2026, police said.
