A man has been charged following an investigation into a pursuit on the Central Coast on Tuesday, August 8.
About 8.30am police from Central Coast Traffic and Highway Patrol attempted to stop a vehicle on The Entrance Rd, The Entrance.
When the vehicle allegedly failed to stop as directed, a pursuit was initiated but was soon terminated due to safety concerns.
A short time later, emergency services were called to the Central Coast Hwy near Karalta Road, Erina, following reports that the vehicle had allegedly crashed into several cars.
Police at the scene were told that the vehicle had crashed into the cars, before a man fled the scene on foot.
There were no reports of injuries.
Officers from Brisbane Water Police District, assisted by PolAir and Dog Squad, were unsuccessful in locating the man.
Following inquiries by the Brisbane Water Crime Prevention Unit, a 23-year-old male from Canada Bay was arrested on James Sea Dr, Green Point, at about 3.45pm yesterday.
He was taken to Gosford Police Station where he was charged with two counts of police pursuit – not stop – drive recklessly, two counts of drive motor vehicle during disqualification period, and five counts of not give particulars to other driver.
He was refused bail to appear before Gosford Local Court on August 9.
