Helicopter footage showed a damaged white van driving erratically through traffic on the West Gate Bridge in Melbourne's inner west just before 1pm on Friday.
Victoria police said it had been reported stolen from St Kilda Road about 5.40am, and was later spotted in Footscray.
It was followed by the police chopper and officers on the ground as it sped through suburbs including Port Melbourne, Spotswood, Carnegie, Sunshine, Dandenong and Point Cook.

The van could be seen hitting light poles on Dunnings Road in Point Cook before slowing.
A man then jumped through the driver's side window while the van was still moving, and was hit by an unmarked police car on the road.
A 36-year-old man from Point Cook was arrested and taken to hospital where he was treated under police guard.
On Tuesday night, police charged him with dozens of offences, including 12 counts of reckless conduct endangering life, 17 counts of reckless conduct endangering serious injury, aggravated reckless exposure of a police officer to risk by driving, dangerous driving whilst being pursued by police, burglary and committing an offence while on bail.
The man is scheduled to appear in the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
No one was seriously injured during Friday's incidents.
