Two Teenagers Charged Following Police Pursuit

BY OLIVIA DILLON

Two teenagers have been charged following a pursuit through the Hunter yesterday. 

Police received reports a Kia Seltos SUV was reportedly stolen from a home in Calgaroo Avenue in Muswellbrook, as well as other personal items.  

A pursuit was initiated by Hunter Valley District Police when the vehicle was seen in Singleton just before 3pm, however it was terminated due to safety concerns. 

The vehicle was monitored travelling into Maitland, before police lost sight of it on the New England highway at Rutherford. 

The abandoned Kia was located shortly after at a home on Kristen Close, and two 15-year-old boys were arrested with the assistance of the dog unit at a nearby apartment. 

They are now facing multiple charges, including one breach of bail. 

They were both refused bail and will face Children's Court today.
