A man will face court today following a pursuit on the NSW Central Coast overnight.
About 10.40pm yesterday (Thursday 5 May 2022), officers attached to Tuggerah Lakes Highway Patrol attempted to stop a vehicle on the Pacific Highway, Wyong, for a random breath test.
When the driver allegedly failed to stop, a pursuit was initiated.
The vehicle continued through several suburbs for approximately 50km, allegedly reaching speeds of more than 40km/h over the sign-posted speed limit.
PolAir also monitored the pursuit.
The vehicle drove to bushland at Buff Point, before the driver ran from the vehicle and entered a nearby waterway.
Officers established a perimeter and arrested the man a short time later.
The 25-year-old – from Swansea – was taken to Wyong Police Station and charged with not give particulars to other driver, police pursuit – not stop – drive dangerously and an outstanding arrest warrant.
Police will allege in court the man was involved in a fail to stop incident at Budgewoi on Tuesday 19 April 2022.
He was refused bail to appear at Wyong Local Court today (Friday 6 May 2022).
There were no reports of injuries, or any property damage caused during the pursuit.
