A teenage boy has faced court charged over an alleged stolen vehicle and pursuit on the Central Coast.
At about 4am on Sunday, March 16, police attempted to stop a white Nissan Pathfinder for a roadside breath test at Long Jetty.
When the vehicle allegedly failed to stop, a pursuit was initiated which continued through the suburbs of The Entrance, Toukley, Budgewoi, Lake Munmorah, Pelican, Swansea and Belmont.
Road spikes were successfully deployed and five teenagers were arrested at the scene.
They were taken to Belmont Police Station where a 14-year-old boy was charged with: taking and driving a conveyance without consent of owner; custody of knife in public place – first offence; entering vehicle or boat without consent of owner; and police pursuit – not stop – drive dangerously.
He was refused bail to appear before a Children’s Court later that day.
The other four occupants of the vehicle, two girls aged 15, one girl aged 12 and one girl aged 14, were dealt with under the Young Offenders Act.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
