The Fawkner Embona Taskforce, which was set-up eight years ago to tackle robberies in the western suburbs, has charged a teenager after executing a search warrant at a property in Hyde Park Avenue, Craigieburn, on Saturday.
A police spokeswoman said the search warrant followed an incident in Sheffield Way, Craigieburn, on Friday night.
She said detectives have been told a man and a woman were sitting in their car while parked in Sheffield Way about 6.15pm when a teenage boy allegedly armed with a firearm threatened them.
Police arrested a teenage boy early on Saturday morning and seized two imitation firearms from the Hyde Park address.
A Craigieburn teen, 16, has been charged with making threats to kill, being a prohibited person in possession of an imitation firearm and unlicensed driving.
He has been bailed to appear at a Children's Court at a later date.
