A disqualified driver travelling with a 12-year-old boy in the car will face court today following a pursuit in Sydney’s west overnight, NSW Police say.
About 12.30am (Saturday 6 January 2018), officers from Parramatta Traffic & Highway Patrol Command were conducting speed enforcement duties on the M4 at Mays Hill, when they detected a white Nissan Pulsar allegedly travelling at 131km/h in a signposted 90km/h zone.
Officers attempted to stop the Nissan, but the driver failed to stop and left the motorway at Church Street, Parramatta.
A pursuit was initiated when the driver allegedly disobeyed a red traffic signal and accelerated to 100km/h in a signposted 60km/h zone.
Police stopped the Nissan in Early Street and arrested a 25-year-old woman driving the car.
Also travelling in the vehicle was a 30-year-old woman and a 12-year-old boy.
Further inquiries revealed the driver had allegedly never held a driver’s licence.
A subsequent search of the car located cannabis, a knife and stolen credit cards.
The two women were taken to Parramatta Police Station and charged.
The 25-year-old driver was charged with police pursuit - not stop (‘Skye’s Law’), drive while disqualified and disobey red light.
She was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Local Court today (Saturday 6 January 2018).
A 30-year-old woman was charged with goods in custody and custody of knife in a public place.
She was granted conditional bail to appear at Parramatta Local Court on Wednesday 31 January 2018.
The 12-year-old child was conveyed to a relative and a child at risk notification will be made.
Investigations into the incident are continuing.
