Five teenagers have been arrested after a police helicopter tracked two stolen vehicles through the southwestern suburbs overnight.

Just before 1am on Saturday, a police patrol saw two stolen vehicles in Glenelg.

The police helicopter was tasked to track the vehicles – a silver Jeep Cherokee and a red Audi sedan.

The chopper followed the vehicles to George St in Marion where a number of people were then seen running from the vehicles.

Police dog Duke was then brought in to assist, with five teenage boys found nearby.

Two 13-year-olds and three 15-year-olds were arrested for illegal use, with police refusing bail for all five suspects.

They will appear in the Adelaide Youth Court on Monday.

Police were then able to establish that the Audi was involved in a collision with a camper trailer earlier in the night, which left a 41-year-old woman in hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The Jeep was stolen from Port Augusta in the early hours of Thursday morning, with the Audi stolen during a Sturt break in on Friday night.

Police said investigations are continuing and additional charges are expected to be laid.
