Six South Auckland teenage girls in an allegedly stolen car were involved in a head-on collision with a police car after a 10-minute pursuit in Whangarei.
The girls, aged between 14 and 16, came to a halt in central Whangarei during rush hour on Tuesday when a white station wagon and an unmarked police car collided head-on on Porowini Ave about 5.15pm.
Officers arrested the girls and spent most of Tuesday evening organising parents and caregivers to collect them from Whangarei police station.
Child Youth and family were also involved.
Two of the girls were charged and will go through the Youth Court. The other four will be dealt with by police youth services.
