A man wanted on outstanding warrants has tried to flee police by jumping into the water at Mannering Park.
Officers went to a home on Mariam Street yesterday morning to arrest the man, but he allegedly ran from the house and jumped over a back fence.
With police chasing him on foot he jumped into the water from a nearby jetty, with Polair assisting officers to arrest him as he returned to shore.
A search allegedly uncovered $1100 cash, and a quantity of methyamphetamine.
The 33-year-old has been refused bail to face Wyong Court today (Thursday 1 July,2021) charged with destroy/damage property with intent to endanger life, possess prohibited drug, aggravated robbery and inflict actual bodily harm and two outstanding warrants.
