Police say the pursuit lasted less than a minute before the stolen car crashed.

Seven youths, aged as young as 10, were lucky to escape without injury after crashing a stolen car into a house during a police chase in the Auckland suburb of Mt Roskill overnight.

Police said the chase began at 12.35am and lasted less than a minute, during which the fleeing car's speed reached 140kmh in a 50kmh area.

The driver lost control and rolled the car, hitting two parked cars on White Swan Rd and damaging a house.

The car ended up on its roof in a driveway.

Seven youths, aged 10 to 17, were in the car, including two in the boot.

They suffered bumps and bruises, but were otherwise unhurt.

Police said the driver would face driving charges, as well as charges over the car's theft.
