Three teens have been charged after a car was allegedly stolen and used in a lengthy pursuit on the Central Coast yesterday. On Saturday 3 January, 2015, a 15-year-old allegedly stole a Toyota Corolla from Greystanes. Police attempted to stop the vehicle a short time later without success. Police will allege between Saturday 3 January, 2015 and Monday 5 January, 2015 a number of robberies and driving offences occurred, using the stolen Toyota Corolla, in and around Newcastle. About 1pm yesterday (Monday 5 January, 2015), police pursued the vehicle after a robbery was allegedly committed by the occupants in Shortland.

They were arrested and taken to Gosford Police Station. A 15-year-old Greystanes male has been charged with five offences including; take and drive conveyance without consent of owner, robbery armed with offensive weapon, never licensed person drive vehicle on road, drive recklessly/furiously or speed/manner dangerously, and not give particulars to other driver.
