Just before 5am on February 15, officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District were notified that a grey Nissan Navara had been stolen from Dubbo.
At about 7.30am that day, officers attached to Macquarie Traffic and Highway Patrol attempted to stop the suspected stolen vehicle at Leeds Parade, Orange.
"Police engaged in a pursuit after the vehicle failed to stop; however, was soon terminated due to the dangerous manner of driving," a spokesman for NSW Police said.
"Shortly afterwards, the Navara was located abandoned on Kurim Avenue, Orange."
Police commenced a search of the area and arrested three males nearby.
"NSW Ambulance paramedics treated a 16-year-old boy for intoxication before taking him to Orange Health Service for observations," the NSW Police spokesman added.

Inquiries into the matter are ongoing.
