Fawkner Embona Taskforce investigators have arrested five people following an alleged carjacking in Dallas early Sunday morning, Victoria Police say.
The incident occurred on Blair Street just after midnight on 19 August.
It is alleged the victim was sitting in his car in a supermarket car park when two men, both armed with a firearm, exited a nearby vehicle and approached him.

Four men and a woman were since taken into custody during a planned arrest at an address on Tylden Place, Westmeadows about 4.30pm yesterday (20 August).
They were arrested by members of the Special Operations Group, with two firearms also seized.
