Two Perth men took police on a speedy pursuit this morning after stealing two vehicles during the night.
Police said a 25-year-old Maddington man and his 17-year-old accomplice from Forrestfield stole a Holden Statesman from a Maddington home about 8.30pm.
The duo used that car to drive to a house in Shelley, where police claim they stole another car, which they abandoned nearby.
Police said they spotted the Holden driving along Gosnells Road early this morning.
They attempted to stop the car but it continued to speed through several streets in Maddington and on to Tonkin Highway.
The vehicle came to a halt after police laid stingers on the road to puncture the car's tyres, causing it to veer off the road and into bushland.
Both men fled the car into the bush but were later found hiding in scrubland by police dogs.
Police did not say how fast the car was driving in the chase, but said it was well above designated speed limits.
The 25-year-old faces 11 charges including aggravated burglary and stealing a motor vehicle. He will appear in Perth's Magistrate's court today.
The 17-year-old was charged with stealing a motor vehicle and will appear in the Armadale Children's Court on September 21.
