Woman arrested after car chase through northern suburbs ends in crash

A 23-year-old woman has been arrested and charged with a string of offences after she allegedly led police on a car chase through Perth's northern suburbs that ended in a crash on Sunday.

Just after 9.40am on Sunday morning, traffic officers patrolling in Scarborough saw a 2013 red Mazda station sedan on Corbett Street.

Police believed the car had been stolen, and turned on their lights in an attempt to stop the driver.

It's been alleged the car then took off away from police, and travelled through Floreat, Wembley, Leederville and Yokine.

However the chase came to an end when the car hit another car on the corner of Flinders Street and Cape Street in Yokine.

She will appear in Perth Magistrates Court on Monday.
