Five youths have been arrested after police cornered a stolen Mercedes in the drive-through of a fast food outlet in Melbourne’s south-east.

Police say the Mercedes, which had been stolen during an aggravated burglary at Hawthorn yesterday morning, is also linked to an armed robbery at Endeavour Hills at about 9pm last night.

Officers discreetly followed the vehicle from Doveton from about 11.30pm to a fast food outlet on Springvale Road in Springvale.
