There was no property damage or injuries.
The driver of the SUV is facing multiple charges, including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and evading police. The passenger is facing charges of possession of stolen property over $5,000.
Both girls will appear before a Justice of the Peace on Sunday afternoon.
