Two people been arrested following a lengthy high speed pursuit through Lake Macquarie to the Central Coast.
Police spotted a blue Holden utility at 10.00pm on Tuesday at Nords Wharf which had been reported stolen from the F3 Motor Auctions yard at Beresfield on June 10 - they began following the car when it failed to stop.
Police say the pursuit was terminated and recommenced on several occasions due to the manner of driving and the danger to other motorists.
The Polair helicopter was in the area and kept tracking the vehicle covertly.
The car was clocked travelling at 130 km/h in a 90 zone.
The chase continued for 2 hours before the car stopped at Glenning Valley near Berkeley Vale at midnight where a 41-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman were arrested.
The man's been charged with 7 offences including police pursuit, steal motor vehicle, reckless driving, disqualified driving and goods in custody.
He's been refused bail to face Wyong Local Court today (Wednesday 1 July 2020).
The woman's been charged with steal motor vehicle and being carried in a conveyance without consent.
Police say the arrests would not have been made possible without the assistance of the Polair helicopter.
