Wanted Man Arrested After High Speed Pursuit Through Lake Macquarie

BY IAN CROUCH

A man wanted over alleged domestic violence offences has been arrested after leading police on a high speed pursuit through Lake Macquarie.

Patrolling Police spotted the man driving a silver Holden Commodore on Main Road Glandale just after 11.30 last night and began following the car when he refused to stop for a random breath test, with the vehicle clocked at 120 kilometres per hour in a 60 zone.

The pursuit went down the Newcastle Link Road to the M1, up to Black Hill and back to the Cardiff exit before road spikes were deployed on Main Road Edgeworth and the man eventually stopped on Fifth Street at Cardiff where he was arrested after a short foot pursuit.

He's expected to face Newcastle Local Court today charged with domestic violence, dangerous driving and pursuit offences.
