Man Faces Court Over Raymond Terrace Carjacking And Pursuit

BY IAN CROUCH

A man is due to front court later this month over an alleged carjacking and police pursuit at Raymond Terrace.

Police say a 45-year-old man was at home in Corelli Close on Saturday night when a man known to him and a woman requested a lift.

The trio left the home before police attempted to stop their car on Irrawang Street for a Random Breath Test.

However, it's alleged the male passenger threatened the 45-year-old driver which led to a police pursuit.

The driver managed to escape after slowing down and jumping from the car, which then took off.

Acting on information, officers arrested a 40-year-old man on Hanbury Street, Mayfield yesterday after a shot foot pursuit.

He faced court charged with aggravated take/drive motor vehicle with person in it - in company, stalk/intimidate intend fear physical harm (domestic) and custody of a knife in a public place.

The 40-year-old has been refused bail to face Raymond Terrace Local Court on Monday March 25.

Police are still searching for the woman.
