A trio of teens was arrested on reckless conduct charges after being pursued by police throughout Strathfieldsaye.
Police say two stolen cars were seen filling up at a petrol station in Kangaroo Flat and left without paying.
Police were called and patrolled the area but were unable to locate the vehicles. A short time later police received reports of two vehicles driving erratically in Strathfieldsaye.
Units again attended and two patrol cars were stopped on Swanson Boulevard with their lights activated when the Ford and Renault appeared and mounted the footpath in an attempt to get past.
Police arrested and charged the three teenagers after they crashed one of the stolen cars, rolling it into a fence. Police arrested a 15-year-old boy from Reservoir, a 16-year-old boy from California Gully, and a 17-year-old boy from Ascot.
