Teenagers charged after police pursuit
Three teenagers have been charged with a variety of offences after a pursuit through Peninsula suburbs in the early hours of Sunday, March 7.
Officers attached to the Brisbane Water Proactive Crime team were patrolling the suburb of Tascott, when they 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.
With police in pursuit, they travelled through Woy Woy, Ettalong and Umina.
Road spikes were used at the intersection of Bourke and Ocean Beach Rds, deflating the tyres before it came to a stop, crashing into a street sign on Dorothy Ave, Woy Woy.
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 15 and 16, were arrested and taken to Gosford Police Station.
They were charged with a variety of driving and drug offences.
