A man is due to face court today (Thursday 29 February, 2024) following the alleged theft of a car and police pursuit at Maitland.
Officers attempted to stop a stolen Toyota Hilux on Laurie Drive at Raworth.
As they approached the vehicle, the driver sped off and a pursuit was initiated.
It came to an end when the vehicle crashed into a fence on Korbel Street and the driver fled on foot.
The 22-year-old was arrested in O'Hearn Street at Tenambit a short time later with the help of PolAir and a police dog.
He's been refused bail to face Maitland Local Court today charged with 20 offences.
