Sunshine teen charged after cop chase

A SUNSHINE teenager accused of shoplifting and being a passenger in a stolen car that led police on three high-speed chases through southern NSW will front  children’s court next month.

The boy, 16, was charged with receiving stolen property and with  being carried in a stolen vehicle after being arrested in Gundagai on July 15.

Police said he was a passenger in a car that was involved in a chase  which reached speeds of up to 195km/h and resulted in a police car crashing into a railing and a truck.  

The boy, who is also accused of stealing a $10 set of screwdrivers from a supermarket, was bailed to appear in  children’s court on August 20.
