Footage has captured the chilling moment a gang of thieves attempted to steal a car with a defenceless family inside, including a two-year-old boy.
Three hooded carjackers descended on the Porsche parked in a driveway off Nicholas Street in Ashburton, in Melbourne's south-east, at about 6pm on Sunday.
In the terrifying CCTV footage, Chris, 36, and his wife could be seen in their vehicle while their child was strapped in at the back.
Chris's wife opened the passenger door and was preparing to leave the car when the family spotted the three thieves heading towards them.
In a chilling twist, the criminals are understood to have followed the family home in a stolen Mercedes-Benz and sprung into action when they saw the opportunity.
