There's been a surge in the number of teenage girls stealing cars and dumping them before fleeing from police.
Two teens appeared in court today, after they were caught driving a stolen vehicle early this morning.
A 16-year-old is charged with breaching bail, unlawful taking of a vehicle, dangerous driving and failing to stop.
Her 17-year-old passenger is also charged with breaching his bail, possession of instruments for car conversion and unlawful taking.
Earlier in the week police arrested a group of four girls in relation to vehicle theft.
They face a total of 16 charges.
