Four Arrested After Pursuit On Stockton Beach

BY IAN CROUCH

Police have arrested four men after a wild pursuit on the Stockton sand dunes.

Officers spotted a Hyundai which they believed had been stolen on Dunbar Street on Thursday morning, but the car took off when they tried to pull it over.

The car was then driven onto Stockton Beach via Lavis Lane and the officers commandeered a quad bike, chasing the car for one-and-a-half kilometres along the sand before catching the men.


It's alleged one of the offenders spat in the face of one of the officers

The four, all aged in their 20's  are facing 12 charges including robbery and assault police - it's also alleged they were in possession of counterfeit cash.
