A police pursuit early this morning has ended with the arrest of two men at MARYLAND.
At about 2.30am, officers patrolling Wallsend noticed a Suzuki Vitara being driven erratically and attempted to pull the vehicle over on Minmi Road but it sped away, allegedly reaching speeds of 100 kilometres per hour in a 60 zone.
Inspector Dean Olsen says officers cornered the car a short time later in Warkworth Street at Maryland.
" On searching the vehicle we located two longarms, a rifle and another firearm and we've also located a stash of ammunition as well," he said.
The two men aged 37 and 32 were arrested and are assisting police with their inquiries.
