BY DAKOTA TAIT

Police have attempted to stop several vehicles, including a car believed to be stolen, at Tea Gardens early Saturday morning.

Just before 2am, officers attempted to stop a white BMW X5 station wagon, a white Mazda 3 sedan, and a white Nissan Navara utility travelling in convoy along Myall Road, as the occupants of all the vehicles were wearing balaclavas.

Checks on the BMW revealed it was reported stolen from a South West Rocks address on Friday.

The vehicles failed to stop, but officers later sighted the vehicles travelling together on the Pacific Highway at Raymond Terrace, around 2:30am. 

A pursuit was initiated, but was terminated due to safety reasons.  

Police are investigating the incident.

Anyone with information is being urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
