Two youths were due to face court today following after they were allegedly involved in a pursuit with police in the early hours of Thursday morning.
"About 2.45am today (Thursday September 7, 2023), officers attached to Central west Police District were patrolling Cargo Road, Cargo, 35km southwest of Orange, when they sighted a Nissan Tiida – reportedly stolen from a home in Cowra overnight - driving in excess of the sign posted speed limit," NSW Police stated.
"Police attempted to stop the Nissan; however, it failed to stop, and a pursuit was initiated, travelling into Orange and through local streets before stopping outside the police station, where the occupants – four teenage boys – were arrested."
Police said the boys were taken to Orange Police Station.

The two boys were refused bail to appear at a children’s court today.
