A man will reappear in court on Wednesday, charged over an alleged carjacking and pursuit across the Hunter last week.
Officers attempted to stop a black Mazda in Cessnock last Thursday, and a pursuit was initiated when the driver allegedly failed to comply.
The chase was terminated a short time later due to safety concerns.
Police will allege the vehicle stopped in Weston, where the driver left the vehicle and forced a driver, a 67-year-old woman, from the vehicle and drove it away.
Police located the vehicle in Beresfield and a 33-year-old man was arrested after allegedly attempting to access another two vehicles in a garage on Emerson Street.
The Raymond Terrace man was refused bail to appear before Newcastle Local Court last Friday.
He was formally refused bail and will appear before Maitland Local Court tomorrow.
