Four teenagers have been arrested and one charged after a police pursuit near St Marys last night, NSW Police say.
About 10pm on Thursday 25 January 2018, police were conducting random breath tests on Doonside Road, Doonside.
The driver of a white Nissan Altiva did not stop when directed and a police pursuit was initiated. The pursuit was terminated shortly after when police lost sight of the vehicle.
The vehicle had been reported stolen earlier in the week.
About 11.20pm, the vehicle was again seen by police who were conducting random breath tests on Maxwell Street, South Penrith.
The vehicle again failed to stop for police and a pursuit was initiated. The pursuit was terminated due to dangerous speeds of the vehicle.
About 11.40pm, police initiated a third pursuit, after the vehicle was spotted on Greenway Parkway, Jordan Springs.
Road spikes were deployed before the vehicle hit a gutter near Lakeside Parkway.
Four girls fled on foot and were arrested by police a short distance away. They were taken to Penrith Police Station.
A 16-year-old girl has been charged with take and drive conveyance without consent of owner, police pursuit (x2) and drive unlicensed. She was refused bail and will appear at a children’s court today (Friday 26 January 2018).
Three girls, aged 13, 15 and 17, were released from custody pending further investigations.
