Three teenagers faced court on March 7 following a pursuit on the Peninsula in the early hours of that morning.
About 12.20am, officers attached to the Brisbane Water Proactive Crime team attempted to stop a Toyota Corolla on Brisbane Water Dr for a random breath test.
The Toyota failed to stop and began accelerating away from police, who followed them through Woy Woy, Ettalong Beach and Umina Beach.
Road spikes were successfully deployed at the intersection of Bourke and Ocean Beach Rds, deflating the tyres before the car crashed into a street sign on Dorothy Ave, Woy Woy, and came to a stop.
A search of the vehicle and the occupants revealed the passengers allegedly in possession of cash, and drugs.
These items were seized for forensic examination.
The driver, a 16-year-old boy, and his two male passengers, aged 16 and 15, were arrested and taken to Gosford Police Station.
The driver was charged with not stopping during a police pursuit, driving dangerously, driving with low range PCA, driving a conveyance taken without consent of the owner, exceeding the speed limit by more than 45 km/h and driving unlicensed.
The two passengers also faced various charges.
All three boys were refused bail to appear at a Children’s Court on March 7 and inquiries are continuing.
