Teens charged after allegedly stealing cars, leading police on chase

A group of teenagers who allegedly stole cars and drove around pointing guns into windows of unsuspecting homeowners has been arrested.

Three teenagers who allegedly pointed a gun at people in their homes in Sydney’s west will face court after they led police on a massive chase through the streets in a stolen car.

Police will allege four people forced entry to a home on Montefiore Ave, West Hoxton and stole an Audi Q7 about 3am on November 23.

The group then parked the stolen Audi on Brooklime St, Denham Court, about 4.40am and approached a nearby home waking the occupants.

The four people were allegedly armed with a machete, a knife and a firearm.

Police allege the firearm was pointed at one of the home’s occupants through a window before the group fled in the stolen Audi.

A short time later, the group allegedly approached another home in Wollahan Ave, Denham Court while armed before leaving the scene in the same stolen car.

About 5am, a 22-year-old woman was reversing her VW Golf out the driveway of a home on Macksville St, Hoxton Park, when two men – one allegedly armed with a firearm and the other with a knife – threatened her.

The woman got out of her car and the men drove away in the Golf followed by the rest of the group in the stolen Audi.

The woman was not injured.
