A police spokeswoman said they signalled a vehicle to stop on State Highway 1 about 2.30pm.
However, the vehicle failed to do so.
Police did not initiate a pursuit and instead followed the vehicle at road speed.
The sole occupant, a 16-year-old, was uninjured and taken into custody.
They would be referred to youth services.
A police spokesman said there was a routine operation focused on enforcement of speed limits in the area at the time.
