The girl has been bailed to appear at a children’s court at a later date.
On Monday last week, a 14-year-old school boy was allegedly forced into an SUV in Glen Huntly before being ejected from the moving vehicle shortly after.
The boy remained in hospital in a serious condition. Police have said he sustained “life-altering” head injuries.
Two other teens were charged last week in relation to the alleged abduction.
On Thursday, a 14-year-old boy was arrested and charged with 30 offences, including theft of a vehicle and intentionally causing serious injury, according to documents released by the court.
