Two teenage boys are due to front the Children's Court today accused of breaking into a house and stealing a car from Aberglasslyn overnight.
Police say the two 14-year-olds forced their way into a home on Lapwing Street at about 10.00pm on Tuesday, taking the keys to a Hyundai Elantra before driving off in the car.
The owner called police immediately and officers spotted the car about 10 minutes later.
The driver attempted to evade police, taking off into a paddock off Oakhampton Road, with the car becoming airborne before crashing heavily next to a barbed wire fence.
The boys attempted to flee by swimming across the Hunter River, only to be met by waiting officers.
They've been refused bail charged with a range of offences including aggravated break and enter and steal motor vehicle.
