POLICE called for a chopper, the canine unit and stingers after a group of children allegedly went on a crime rampage across Perth overnight, stealing a car and threatening people with an axe.

Police allege the group stole a Honda Jazz and a bag after threatening a man in Burswood and another man in Northbridge last night.

They also allegedly stole a bank card from a woman in Northbridge and items from a service station in South Lake.

Some members of the group, travelling in what police believe was a stolen Honda Odyssey, allegedly sped away when confronted by police in Fremantle.

The Police Air Wing helicopter then tracked the group until stingers could be deployed to stop the car in Carrington Street, Hamilton Hill.

Police said the occupants fled on foot, but were later arrested with the help of the helicopter and canine unit.

A 16-year-old boy, three 15-year-old boys and two 14-year-old boys were taken into custody.

Police are still searching for the stolen Honda Jazz and its occupants.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online.
