Teens arrested after allegedly taking stolen car on 150kph joyride through Canberra
Two 13-year-old boys have been arrested on a major road in Canberra after a late-night joyride through Civic, which allegedly included a dash through a red light to avoid pursuing police.
Shortly after 2:00am, police say officers spotted a silver Ford driving erratically on Alinga Street, and tried to stop it when it turned in to the Civic Bus Interchange.
Instead, the car allegedly sped off through a red light to evade police.
Police said about 10 minutes later the car was spotted doing 150 kilometres per hour in a 90kph zone on Parkes Way, where the driver again ignored police directions to stop.
Further along Parkes Way, a swarm of police officers arrested the two children after forcing the car to stop.
