Man Arrested After Pursuit At Rutherford

BY IAN CROUCH

A pursuit has ended with the arrest of a man at Rutherford.

Patrolling police attempted to stop a Ford Falcon for a Random Breath Test on the New England Highway at 1.50am on Friday, but the driver sped off.

The officers gave chase, with the Falcon allegedly clocked at 120 kilometres per hour in an 80 zone.

The pursuit ended about 10 minutes later when the car pulled into a driveway.

A man in his 40's was arrested - he's expected to be charged with Skyes Law (failing to Stop) and disqualified driving.
