Police say they tried to pull over a white Toyota Prius just before 4:00am after checks revealed it had allegedly been stolen during a break-in in Valley View on Friday morning.

When the vehicle failed to stop, they pursued it along John Rice Avenue and Main North Road at Elizabeth South before it crashed into a tree at the intersection of Main North and Montague roads in Pooraka.

The driver fled the car but a search involving a police dog quickly located the suspect nearby.

The 11-year-old from Craigmore was charged with illegal use of a motor vehicle.

The illusive artist who goes by the name Koven has been writing his tag on structures and walls around the city since the mid 2000s.

He is perhaps one of the city's most recognised writers due to some audacious roll-ups (graffiti painted up high on buildings, often with rollers).

In more recent years, however, his tag has appeared in small stickers placed on street lights, stobie polls, poster walls and pubs.
