The case has been sent for trial at Wood Green Crown Court on August 9, after the teenager appeared in North London Magistrates’ Court, July 12.
He admitted to breaking his bail conditions in Watford on July 18 when appearing in St Albans Magistrates’ Court on the same day and was re-admitted to bail.
He is not accused of driving the cars he is charged with taking, but is alleged to have allowed himself to be carried in them before they were recovered.
One of the vehicles, an Audi, was allegedly driven dangerously down four roads.
