A teenage boy has been charged after a pursuit and crash at North Sydney earlier today.
The incident began just before 11am (Wednesday 16 January 2019), when police attempted to stop a stolen vehicle on Miller Street, North Sydney.
The driver initially stopped but as police approached the vehicle, they allege he accelerated away and a pursuit was initiated.
It continued through Crows Nest, North Sydney and Cammeray and ended at the intersection of Ernest and Miller streets when the car hit three other vehicles.
The driver, a 15-year-old boy, allegedly ran from the scene and was pursued on foot by officers from North Shore Police Area Command, assisted by officers from the Public Order and Riot Squad (PORS), and PolAir.
The teen was chased in Lytton Street before being arrested inside a residential unit on the corner of Falcon Street, Cammeray, about 11.15am.
He was taken to Chatswood Police Station and charged with police pursuit-not stop-drive recklessly, drive recklessly/furiously or speed/manner dangerous, drive conveyance taken without consent of owner, never licensed person drive vehicle on road, and resist officer in execution of duty.
The North Parramatta teen was granted conditional bail to appear at a children's court on Tuesday 12 February 2019.
