Youth charged over car chase

Staff WriterJoondalup Times

The chase ended when police found the car had struck a brick wall in Warwick.

Officers had tried to stop the Toyota Corolla just after 9pm in Balga on July 31.

Police allege the 17-year-old driver ignored their request, reaching speeds up to 150km/h and occasionally travelling on the wrong side of the road as he drove the car through Wanneroo, Woodvale, Craigie, Padbury and Warwick.

The vehicle is alleged to have struck a car on Warwick Road and Coolibah Drive in Greenwood without stopping. The occupants of the other car were taken to Royal Perth Hospital with minor injuries.
