Three teens detained by police following operation on calm Sydney street.
Today, a quiet street in Sydney was thrown into chaos as police launched a manhunt for three teenagers. It all started with a highway pursuit involving a stolen car, a Genesis SUV. The police tried to pull over the vehicle on Hume Highway but the teenagers behind the wheel refused to stop. After ten minutes, the car was located on Downes Crescent in Currans Hill, a nearby suburb. However, the teenagers had already left the car and were wandering around the neighborhood.

One of the local residents, Justin Miller, was outside in his garden when the teenagers approached him. They asked for directions to the nearest train station, and Miller assumed they had been at a house party the night before. He directed them to the closest bus stop, unaware of the events that had unfolded just moments ago. It wasn't until he saw a helicopter flying over and police cars speeding down the street that he realized the teenagers were involved in something more serious.

The police launched an extensive search, utilizing resources such as PolAir, the dog squad, and the tactical response squad. The scene was described as chaotic by another resident, Lee Jeans, who said there were cops everywhere and people were crowding around. It was definitely a rare sight for the typically quiet neighborhood.

During the search, officers found a large knife in the nearby bushland. The teenagers were eventually located and arrested, and they were taken to Narellan Police Station for questioning. It was discovered that the car involved in the pursuit had been stolen from Canberra. Police are now investigating whether the teenagers are linked to any crimes in the Australian Capital Territory.

It was a tense and eventful day for the residents of Currans Hill, and some may even call it exciting. However, it serves as a reminder that crime can happen anywhere, even in the quiet suburbs of Sydney.
