Six teenagers, one aged just 13, have been arrested after two stolen cars were spotted in the southern suburbs – before one crashed and injured a woman.

Just after 12.30am on Monday, a resident at Coromandel Valley reported his car had been stolen.

The stolen Mitsubishi Pajero was spotted by the police helicopter on Shepherds Hill Rd with a second stolen vehicle, a white Volkswagen Amarok ute stolen overnight on Saturday from a Hallett Cove address.

Police say the cars travelled on to Sturt Rd and the Amarok was spiked but continued to drive, while the Pajero drove on the wrong side of road and collided with a Toyota Corolla at the intersection of Marion Rd at Mitchell Park.

The driver, a 15-year-old boy from Albert Park, and two passengers, a 13-year-old boy from Davoren Park and a 16-year-old boy from Brooklyn Park, were all charged with serious criminal trespass and theft of a motor vehicle.

The driver was further charged with causing serious harm by careless use of a vehicle.

The driver and single occupant of the Corolla, a 51-year-old woman from Coromandel Valley, suffered leg and arm injuries and was taken to hospital.

The Amarok was followed by PolAir and was dumped just before 1.10am on Price St at Melrose Park.

Three teenagers were arrested a short time later – a 13-year-old boy from Ottoway, a 14-year-old boy from Port Adelaide and a 15-year-old boy from Henley Beach South.

They have all been charged with theft of a motor vehicle and breach of bail.
