A teenage boy, who has been bailed dozens of times, has been arrested following a high-speed police chase through Melbourne's west in a stolen vehicle. The youth, along with six others, was allegedly speeding at over 200km/h before crashing into a tree. The incident has raised concerns about youth crime and bail laws in Victoria, with many calling for tougher measures to address repeat offenders and prevent reckless behaviour, including hoon driving and car theft. The police are investigating the matter further, with a focus on road safety and crime prevention in Melbourne's western suburbs.
