A woman has been charged following two police pursuits south of Sydney yesterday, NSW Police say.
About 12.30pm on Saturday 10 February 2018, police were informed of a vehicle allegedly driving dangerously on the Princes Highway, near Fisherman’s Paradise.
The white Mitsubishi sedan was sighted by police about 1pm driving south along the Princes Highway at Ulladulla and a pursuit was initiated.
Shortly after, it is alleged the sedan mounted a gutter and collided with a parked vehicle before travelling at dangerous speeds. As a result, the pursuit was terminated.

The vehicle was later found abandoned at Mogo.
