The four faced an out-of-sessions hearing on Tuesday night.
The girl and 17-year-old boy were remanded in custody, while the 11-year-old and 15-year-old boy were given bail.
All four will appear at the Children's Court at a later date.
They are accused of robbing at least two homes in Mill Park on Tuesday morning.
Police allegedly spotted them in a stolen car in Valadero Court about 11am where they surrounded the vehicle with guns drawn as they tried to flee.
They were arrested at the scene.
The four were questioned over crimes committed over the past five days in Yallambie, Bundoora, Mill Park, Preston and Reservoir.
Victoria Police earlier reported the boy was aged 10.
