The black convertible Audi A3 was allegedly stolen from Palm Beach about 1.30am on Saturday morning.
The owner, Alice Savill, reported it stolen and posted a series of videos online allegedly showing the group live streaming their crime to social media.
In a video posted to social media, a teenage boy was spotted behind the wheel, wearing gloves, while a teenage girl filmed from the passenger seat while smoking a cigarette.

In a second video, posted to a southside gang Instagram account – Southside earns – a young female is seen behind the wheel of a black convertible, with the registration plates in view, with two more females and a male in the car with her.
