On Wednesday, police responded to reports of youths driving a potentially stolen vehicle driving in an erratic manner across Invercargill.
The driver fled police and crashed shortly after -- with the occupants decamping on foot.
A dog team was brought in and tracked the youths -- three 13-year-olds were spoken to regarding six unlawful takings of motor vehicles.
One appeared in the Invercargill Youth Court, and two others were referred to Youth Services.
A fourth has yet to be spoken too.
