A teenager who tried to steal a Domino’s scooter has bitten off more than he could chew after police used the company’s delivery tracker app to hunt him down.

The Honda scooter was taken from the back of the Domino’s Auburn store at about 5:45pm on Wednesday.

A Domino’s spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that police were able to use tracker technology installed to monitor deliveries to catch the thief.
