Police are investigating a break and enter and a subsequent high speed pursuit at Port Stephens.
A shop was broken into on Gan Gan Road at Anna Bay just before 4 o'clock this morning (Wednesday 24 October, 2018) - it's understood up to 3 people were involved.
About 15 minutes later, police noticed a Silver Ford Ranger twin cab ute without number plates which was used in the break-in on Nelson Bay Road at Salt Ash and gave chase.
The pursuit continued for only a couple of minutes, reaching speeds of up to 140 kilometres per hour in an 80 zone but was terminated when the driver crossed to the wrong side of the road.
