Around 5.45pm yesterday Orana-Mid Western Police District officers were patrolling the Mitchell Highway in Narromine when they spotted a SUV allegedly driving dangerously.

About an hour later at 6.40pm the police found the other occupant, a 16-year-old-boy, near Catherine Drive, around two kilometres away.

The group of youths were taken to Dubbo Police Station, where the driver, a 15 year old girl, was charged with police pursuit without stopping, drive at speed, and drive conveyance taken without consent of owner.

The rest were were charged for being carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner.
