Teen charged over stolen Mondeo in Mount Hutton

BY LAUREN FREEMANTLE 

Police have charged a 15-year-old girl after a car was stolen from Lake Macquarie last night. 

Sometime after 5:30 yesterday afternoon, it's alleged a Ford Mondeo was stolen from a driveway in Mount Hutton. 

Early this morning, around 1:20am, police were conducting patrols when they spotted the Ford on the Newcastle Inner City Bypass at Windale before the car sped away and eventually mounted the curb 20 minutes later on South Street. 

Two teens were then spotted fleeing the car, and the 15-year-old girl was arrested and taken to Belmont Police Station. 

She's been charged with multiple offences and will face the children's court later this month.
