A woman has been charged following an alleged police pursuit on the Central Coast yesterday, NSW Police say.
About 5.30pm (Saturday 16 June 2018), officers from Tuggerah Lakes Traffic & Highway Patrol Command were patrolling on Lake Haven Drive, Lake Haven, when they attempted to stop an allegedly stolen BMW X5 SUV.
A pursuit was commenced when the driver allegedly refused to stop for police.
The officers pursued the BMW through Lake Haven, Wyongah, Tuggerawong, Rock Point, and Tacoma.
Road spikes were successfully deployed on the vehicle in Pollock Avenue, Wyong.
The BMW continued for a short distance into John Street, where it stopped after a minor collision with two stationary vehicles.
The woman driving the BMW allegedly ran from the scene and was arrested in the front yard of a house.
A 33-year-old woman was taken to Wyong Police Station and charged with police pursuit – not stop (‘Skye’s Law’) – drive dangerously, refuse breath analysis and take and drive conveyance without consent.
She was refused bail to appear at Wyong Local Court today (Sunday 17 June 2018).
