Police are appealing for dashcam footage following a high speed pursuit at Port Stephens overnight.

Around 6.25pm on Thursday 17 November, 2022, Highway Patrol officers spotted a black Ford Territory speeding on Gan Gan Road at Anna Bay and gave chase when the male driver refused to stop.

It's alleged the vehicle reached speeds in excess of 120km/h in an 80km/h zone.

Police terminated the pursuit a short time later for safety reasons.

The vehicle was later found abandoned on Birrubi Beach and taken for forensic testing.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers or Raymond Terrace Police Station.
