Man To Face Court Over Police Pursuit Through Lake Macquarie

 BY IAN CROUCH

A man is due to front court today (Thursday 9 September, 2021) after leading police on a high speed pursuit through Lake Macquarie overnight.

Officers attempted to pull over a Holden Commodore on the Pacific Highway at Belmont just after midnight, but the driver refused to stop.

Police say the car reached speeds in excess of 100km/h before the driver stopped of his own accord at Catherine Hill Bay.

The 38-year-old was arrested and will face Newcastle Court today charged with unlicensed driving and Police pursuit - not stop.
