Police were led on a lengthy car chase through the Hunter Valley last night which reached speeds of 100km/hr and lasted just over an hour.
Officers were patrolling Mount View Road in Pokolbin when they noticed a female driver in a white Mazda 323 believed to be linked to a spate of break and enters in the area.
Police attempted to stop the vehicle but it sped up and the chase began through Cessnock, Bellbird, Paxton, Millfield and Laguna ending up back in Broke after 61 minutes. At one stage the female driver of the Mazda 323 rammed a police car.
The car ironically broke down in Broke and the 36-year-old Cessnock woman was arrested.
She was taken to Maitland Police Station and charged with 15 offenses relating to last night's chase and is under investigation for the alleged break and enters in Pokolbin.
