Two teenagers have been charged following a pursuit through multiple Newcastle suburbs and towns ended just a few hundred metres from a major police station.

Raymond Terrace highway patrol officers were driving along Mount Hall Rd at Raymond Terrace when they found an allegedly stolen white Toyota Corolla about 9.20pm.
