If you thought your Gen Y were all that and more!! This is what your younger brothers and sisters are up to :D

Saturday Night

ACT Policing officers were required to deploy road spikes in order to apprehend four juveniles in a stolen car on Saturday night (August 22).

Around 10.40pm, Tuggeranong General Duties police on patrol in Barraclough Crescent, Monash, attempted a traffic stop on a white Ford Laser. The vehicle failed to stop and a pursuit ensued through Gowrie and Fadden.

Stop sticks were deployed in Fadden which deflated the two tyres on the driver’s side of the car, and the occupants then attempted to flee on foot. The pursuit was around six minutes in duration. The vehicle had been identified as stolen from a Gordon address earlier that evening.

Three juveniles – a 14-year-old boy, a 15-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl – were quickly apprehended. General Duties, Specialist Response and Security, and K9 teams then searched the surrounding area.

Another 14-year-old boy was later apprehended and will be charged with taking a motor vehicle without consent, driving without a licence, failing to stop, and reckless driving.

The other youths will be charged with riding in a stolen motor vehicle. All were released into the custodial care of their parents and will be summonsed to appear in court on a later date.

Monday/Tuesday

Four teenagers, the oldest just 14, have been arrested after a 45-minute car chase through Canberra's southern suburbs. Road spikes were needed to end the chase after a stolen Toyota Tarago reached speeds up to 120 kilometres an hour, police said. A 14-year-old youth, from the southern Canberra suburb of Kambah, will face the ACT Children's Court today charged with car theft.

Another 14-year-old, also from Kambah, will appear in the same court charged with car theft, driving while unlicensed, negligent driving and failing to stop once directed. Two other occupants, both aged 13, will be summoned to appear in court on charges of riding in a stolen car.

The chase began shortly after 1am last night, when police on patrol in the southern suburb of Mawson tried to conduct a traffic stop check on the Tarago. It allegedly accelerated away, leading police through eight Canberra suburbs.

Police set down road spikes ahead of the vehicle in Ashley Drive, Richardson, in Canberra's far south.

lol, i call bull on the second story.. the tarago accelerated away.. i have driven a couple different models and i cant state that this would never happen :)

Also getting a tarago up to 120kmph on anything but a highway is no easy task :)

Someone really needs to sort these loosers out, I'm no old fuddy myself but really todays youth have absolutely no respect... they know they can get away with these antics over and over again and teh worst they are going to get is a slap on the wrist...

It's just shit.

Hope the coppers gave them the Yellow Pages after catching the lil scrotes.

And releasing them into the custodial care of their parents? HAHA Puhlease! They should have spent the night in lock up.

Yeah I bet they only get a slap on the wrists, or "counselling"... frustrating for the cops that caught them, for the owners of the stolen cars, and for the rest of us that have to worry about our stuff getting pinched all the time cos of little shits like this!

they need to leave them in a cell for a few days with "bubba" so they can get friendly (i also like the middle east approach to theft an eye for an eye and a few fingers for a car). i wonder how many more cars they will steal if it means they actualy get punished.

Afterthoughts on this topic.

- Had either of these two short police pursuits ended in the cars crashing and death/s of any of the children there would be a public outcry against the police for pursuing the juveniles.

- Mawson, Richardson and Kambah are the south canberra suburbs with the highest concentrtion of "fiends" and hence criminal activity. Also where these criminal juveniles in these car chases reside. Their parent and/or step parent will most likely be addicts and why these kids are out stealing and joy riding. What a good example these parents set.

- Most of these kids 14 and under were out joy riding after 10pm to 1am in the morning. Great way to raise your kids.

A 14yo addict in banks sells for his parents. Some of the family are generaly in lock-up at the same time. They have a roster type system to keep the business going when they're caught. FFS!

wooooordss!! younger generations are getting spoiled by the law. in the other hands, their parent's lack of education also responsible for these hoon actions.

i live in states for a decade, i'll tell u something their youngsters are well known for notorious and misbehavior. lucky for them cops working hard to draw the lines of justice. now, US becomes the biggest police states of the world (legal drinking age in all states are 21? wtf?? u cant even leave an opened bottle of beer inside the car even though ure not drunk).

i dont wanna sacrifice lots of good people freedom for a couple of bad hoons stupid behaviour, but sometimes i agree that aussie cops REALLY need to draw a strict line even for misdemeanor offense. otherwise these kids will never learn something.

anyone that steals a car should go to jail for at least a year and i think more then that. teach these little f**kers whats wrong and whats right. what id like to see is if a kid stole my car and was releast the next day id be waiting out the front of his house the next day.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
