Police pursuit ends in Emu Plains crash

18/06/2008 12:09:00 PM
Four people were arrested on Friday night (June 13) following a police pursuit from the Blue Mountains to Emu Heights.

Blue Mountains Highway Patrol officers located a stolen vehicle travelling on the Great Western Highway at Blaxland at about 10 pm.

Police attempted to stop the vehicle before a pursuit was initiated.

The pursuit was terminated a short time later when the vehicle allegedly hit the gutter of a driveway at Strathdon Close, Emu Heights.

The car is reported to have rolled on impact, before clipping the edge of a nearby house.

The occupants of the house were not injured.

It’s believed there were five people in the car at the time.

A 15-year-old female rear-seat passenger sustained a broken arm and was taken to Nepean Hospital for surgery.

The other four people in the car, including a 16-year-old Northmead male driver, a 16-year-old Lawson male front-seat passenger, a 14-year-old St Marys male rear-seat passenger and a 15-year-old Glenmore Park female rear-seat passenger, were all injury free and were arrested at the scene.

The 16-year-old Northmead male was charged with stealing a motor vehicle, dangerous and reckless driving, driving unlicensed and breaching bail.

The 16-year-old Lawson male was charged with being carried in a conveyance and breaching bail.

The 14-year-old St Marys male was charged with being carried in a conveyance.

All three youths were refused bail and appeared in Parramatta Children’s Court the next day.

The 15-year-old Glenmore Park girl has been dealt with under the Young Offenders Act.

Investigations are continuing.
