Three teens are due in children's court today charged after an alleged carjacking and two pursuits in Sydney's south-west yesterday.
Officers attached to Camden Police Area Command allege three youths were in a sedan – which had been reported stolen some hours earlier – along Camden Valley Way about midday (Saturday 15 November 2025). When the driver allegedly failed to obey a direction to stop, a pursuit was initiated which then headed towards Camden CBD.
The pursuit was terminated after the stolen car allegedly struck several vehicles, driving onto the footpath and the wrong side of the road. It was found a short time later abandoned after hitting a tree near William Avenue.
About 12.10pm, police were called to Lerida Avenue, Camden, after a 26-year-old man was approached by three youths who allegedly punched him then dragged him from his BMW sedan. They allegedly got into his car and drove from the scene.
Police were alerted and, when the vehicle was seen a few minutes later, a pursuit was initiated through Elderslie towards Camden CBD, but was again terminated due to the manner of driving.
About 20 minutes later, Fire and Rescue NSW were called to Onslow Park, Camden, where the stolen vehicle was found alight, with the fire spreading to nearby grassland. Both were extinguished but the vehicle was destroyed.
With the assistance of the Dog Unit, Traffic and Highway Patrol, and the PolAir crew, officers attached to Camden Police Area Command arrested three youths at the scene – two boys aged 16 and a girl aged 13 – taking them to Narellan Police Station. All three have now been charged,
A 16-year-old boy has been charged eight offences,
- Police pursuit – not stop – drive dangerously (two counts)
- Robbery in company
- Possess prohibited drug, and
- Not give particulars to other driver (four counts).
He was also charged with breach of bail.
A second 16-year-old boy and the 13-year-old girl have each been charged with two offences, be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner, and robbery in company.
All three have been refused bail to appear in a children's court today (Sunday 16 November 2025).
