Four teenagers aged between 14 and 17 have been arrested after rolling a stolen car in Blakeview on Monday.
The Kia Sportage was reported stolen from an address in Huntfield Heights in the early evening of Sunday.
Police said they later received reports a Kia Sportage was involved in a hit-and-run collision on Main North Rd in Blakeview about 11.45am on Monday, leading to a police pursuit shortly after on Hayles Rd, Blakeview.
The patrol lost sight of the vehicle on Adams Rd in Blakeview, but was later found rolled on a dirt road, police said.
The four occupants of the stolen vehicle — a 15-year-old girl from Blakeview, a 17-year-old girl from Brahma Lodge, a 14-year-old from Banksia Park and a 14-year-old from Huntfield Heights — were all taken to hospital where they are being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said they would likely charge the teens with illegal use, failing to stop at a crash and other driving offences, once they are released from hospital.
