The man has been taken to hospital with minor injuries and the woman is assisting police with their enquiries.
A detective acting sergeant was taken to hospital with a serious leg injury.
The four-wheel drive and van, allegedly used in yesterday’s ram-raids, were recovered by Police in Fawkner and Deer Park.
