Eight youths have been arrested after they drove an allegedly stolen car through Adelaide overnight.
The boys, aged between 17-years-old and 12-years-old, were all spotted in a Toyota SUV on Sir Donald Bradman Drive, just after midnight on Saturday morning, police said..
“Police didn’t attempt to stop the car but called in Polair to assist from above,” SA Police said in a statement.
“The vehicle travelled west out of the city where patrols successfully spiked the car on Henley Beach Road.”
After spikes were deployed, the juvelines continued to drive the car to Yorktown Crescent in Henley Beach South where they dumped the car and ran from officers.
Police dogs Duke and Chaos assisted officers in locating all eight boys on Fletcher Road and Anderson Street.
