Three people have been arrested after a police pursuit through Wallsend, Glendale and Edgeworth.
Officers chased a stolen Holden Commodore down Lake Road but terminated the pursuit at Glendale for safety reasons.
The car was later found abandoned in bushland at Edgeworth, after members of the public reported seeing the car being driven along a footpath.
A Police dog tracked the trio to nearby Neilson Street.
A 26-year-old man has been refused bail to face court again at the end of the month, while a 19-year-old and a 17-year-old have also been charged.
