A teenage boy and a 22-year-old man have been charged over a joyride that left dozens of vehicles damaged in the Sydney CBD.

A Toyota LandCruiser was spotted late on Thursday driving dangerously in Surry Hills before officers tried to pull it over.

Police allege the driver took off, triggering a short chase before crashing into about 30 vehicles near an intersection.

The car had been reported stolen from an address in Queensland.

Police said its four occupants ran from the scene before getting into an Uber rideshare car.

On Friday, four people were arrested in the western Sydney suburb of Bossley Park.

The group included boys aged 12 and 17, a 16-year-old girl and a 22-year-old man.

The man has been charged with driving a conveyance taken without consent, as well as licence offences.

The 17-year-old has been charged with licence offences, as well as driving recklessly or speeding in a dangerous manner, and destroying or damaging property.

He has also been charged with failing to stop during a police pursuit.

Both were refused bail to face court on Saturday.
