Two 15-year-olds and a 16-year-old will appear in the Youth Court in Christchurch today over a string of offences overnight.

A ute was stolen in the central city and then used in a burglary at a dairy in Templeton.

After fleeing the scene, the vehicle was later involved in a minor crash in Prebbleton, and stopped with road spikes near the Rakaia Bridge.

The trio were then taken into custody.
