Young Woman Arrested At Shortland After Police Pursuit

BY IAN CROUCH

A woman has been arrested following a pursuit through Newcastle's western suburbs early Thursday morning.

Police say a Nissan Pulsar refused to stop for a random breath test on Griffiths Road at Lambton just before 4.00am, with the driver continuing west at moderate speeds.

The car failed to negotiate a roundabout at Sandgate Road at Shortland and crashed into a road sign.

A 23-year-old woman was arrested and taken to Newcastle Police Station.

She's expected to face court today charged with police pursuit and other alleged offences.
