Three teenagers have been arrested after an alleged wild pursuit in a stolen car, where they travelled up to speeds of 180km/h.

Three teenagers will face court after an alleged high-speed pursuit in a stolen car ended in their arrest.

Northern District patrols spotted a stolen white car being driven erratically on Kings Rd at Salisbury Downs just before midnight on Saturday.

The driver of the car saw police and took off on the wrong side of the road.

Police followed the white Astra station wagon along Salisbury Highway, onto Philip Highway and then west onto Hogarth Road.

Patrols lost sight on the car on Mofflin Rd.

PolAir was quickly airborne and tracked the stolen car as it travelled through suburbs of Salisbury North, Paralowie and Mawson Lakes.

The Astra reached speeds of up to 180km/h as it travelled on Port Wakefield Rd.

The car stopped on Grand Junction Rd at Enfield about 30 minutes later and three occupants exited the car and ran south towards Baker St.

Patrols cordoned off the area and Dog Operations Unit was called in to assist with the search.

PolAir continued to track the teenagers as they ran through yards of residential properties and onto the roof of a home on Lines St.

The youths came down from the roof a short time later and PD Edge located them in the front yard of a home and the trio were arrested without further incident.

Checks revealed the vehicle was stolen from a Klemzig address on October 11.

The driver, a 15-year-old boy from Holden Hill, was drug tested and allegedly returned a positive result to methamphetamine and cannabis.

He was charged with driving at an extreme speed, dangerous driving to escape a police pursuit and illegal use.
A 15-year-old from Mansfield Park has been charged with illegal use.

A 14-year-old from Ottoway has been charged with illegal use and breach of bail.

All three were refused police bail and will appear in Adelaide Youth Court on Monday.
