A man's facing Toronto Local Court today following a police pursuit through Cardiff overnight.
Lake Macquarie officers patrolling Main Road attempted to pull over a Holden Commodore around 11 o'clock, but the driver failed to stop, instead leading police on a chase through West Wallsend.
The driver eventually stopped on Watkins Street and tried to flee the scene on foot, but was quickly arrested.
Background checks revealed the 39-year-old had put stolen plates from a Hyundai Excel onto the Commodore, and he had a 13-year-old boy in the rear passenger seat.
The man's been charged with five offences.
