Two Newcastle teenagers wanted over a string of robberies have been arrested following a police pursuit.
Officers started chasing a black Suzuki on Minmi Road late yesterday afternoon after it was spotted leaving the scene of an alleged break-in at Maryland.
The car crashed into another vehicle a short time later on Newcastle Road at Jesmond, with the 18 and 17-year-olds arrested.

The 18-year-old is due to front Newcastle Local Court today charged with several offenses including steal form dwelling and driving a conveyance without consent.
The 17-year-old has also been refused bail and is due to face a children's court today.
