The Northern Territory Police Force has charged a female youth for theft and driving offences this morning.
About 5am, Strike Force Trident members attempted a traffic apprehension on a stolen motor vehicle on Temple Terrace in Woodroffe, before a pursuit commenced after the vehicle failed to stop.
A short time later the stolen vehicle clipped a tree on the side of the road, causing the driver to lose control and make impact with a pole at low speed.
The 15-year-old female driver was arrested and conveyed to Palmerston Regional Hospital for a medical assessment, before being taken to Palmerston Watch House.
She was later charged with, theft, driving a motor vehicle without consent, drive manner dangerous in a pursuit, drive unlicenced and breach bail and will appear in the court later today.
