Alleged Pursuit Offender To Face Toronto Local Court

BY IAN CROUCH

A man is due to face today over a high speed pursuit from Edgeworth to Elermore Vale last week.

Officers attempted to stop a Ford Falcon on Minmi Road early last Thursday morning, but the driver sped off and kept going despite the use of road spikes.

He was later arrested by a dog squad officer after dumping his car at Tomago.

The 27-year-old was treated from a bite wound in the John Hunter Hospital.

He's since been charged with three outstanding warrants and three traffic offenses and has been refused bail to face Toronto Local Court.
