Police have arrested three teenage boys after the pursuit of a stolen vehicle at Lake Macquarie overnight.

During the evening of Sunday 26 July 2015 a green Holden Commodore sedan was stolen from Newcastle Road at Wallsend.

The vehicle was sighted several times throughout the evening travelling at excessive speed in the Newcastle area.

The vehicle and its occupants were also reported to be involved in two robberies.

Shortly before 2am today the vehicle was again sighted by a patrolling police vehicle and a pursuit commenced from Mary Street at Cardiff.

The pursuit continued to Barnsley and through Teralba to Speers Point where road spikes were deployed.

The Holden then struck a parked and unattended vehicle in Berkeley Street. No one was injured.

The three male occupants of the Holden, two aged 15 and a 16-year-old, were arrested without incident.

They have been charged with robbery in company, aggravated robbery (with an offensive weapon) and being carried in conveyance.

They were refused bail and will appear at a Children’s Court today.
