Police are asking for our help to identify two people wanted over a pursuit in a stolen car at Shortland.

Officers spotted the white MG SUV on the Inner City Bypass at about 12.30pm on Monday and began following the car, but terminated the pursuit for safety reasons.

A second pursuit was also called off when the car was allegedly reversed into a police vehicle.

The car crashed a short time later on Old Maitland Road at Sandgate and the occupants ran off.

The male driver is Caucasian, between 30 and 40 years old with black hair and a tattoo underneath his eye.

His female passenger is also Caucasian, about 30 to 40 years old and was wearing glasses.

Anyone with information or dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
