A man will face court today, charged following a pursuit with police on the Central Coast yesterday.
Just after 12pm (Friday 22 February 2019), officers from Brisbane Water Police District sighted a Ford Falcon in Joppa Street at Niagara Park, allegedly being driven by a disqualified driver.
The Holden sped off, hitting a kerb and deflating two tyres before stopping in Gilda Drive.
Police caught up and stopped behind the Holden. As an officer got out, the vehicle reversed and drove off.
A pursuit was initiated before being terminated shortly after.
The Holden was found abandoned near Glen Road, with two people seen running into nearby bushland. Despite a search of the area, they were not able to be located.
During a search of the vehicle, officers allegedly located white powder, white crystals believed to be 'ICE', and a prescription drug. The Holden was seized and will be forensically examined.
