TEEN CHARGED OVER ALLEGED THEFT OF NUMBER PLATES

A teenager accused of stealing number plates from cars triggered a police pursuit from Edgeworth to West Wallsend overnight.

Police were patrolling around Edgeworth, shortly after 10:30pm when they spotted a Honda Integra on Neilson Street without number plates.

They attempted to pull the car over, but it allegedly sped away.

The pursuit continued through the suburbs of Edgeworth, Barnsley, and Holmesville, before coming to an end in West Wallsend when the Honda failed to negotiate a turn and crashed into the gutter.

A 17-year old male was arrested after a short foot pursuit.

He was charged with police pursuit, driving an unregistered vehicle, stealing, and goods in custody.
