Two people have been charged following a police pursuit in the Flinders area on Wednesday.
A NSW Police spokesperson said that at about 8:30 am on Wednesday (31 July), officers attached to Lake Illawarra Traffic and Highway Patrol attempted to stop an allegedly stolen vehicle, on Shellharbour Road, Flinders.
“When the vehicle failed to stop, a pursuit was initiated. However, it was terminated a short time later due to safety concerns,” the spokesperson said.
“At about 8:55 am, police located the vehicle abandoned in an underground car park on Cowper Street, Warrawong, where it was seized for forensic examination.
“The vehicle was allegedly stolen from a car park on Centre Road, Mascot, on Thursday (25 July).
“Following extensive inquiries, at about 3 pm on Friday (2 August), officers attached to the Southern Operation Support Group attended a business on Northcliffe Drive, Kembla Grange, and arrested a 30-year-old man and 20-year-old woman.”
They were taken to Lake Illawarra Police Station, where the man was charged with a number of offences, including two counts of not stopping or driving dangerously with police in pursuit, two counts of driving while disqualified, two counts of dangerous driving, two counts of stealing a vehicle, two counts of having suspected stolen goods, not giving particulars to another driver, and a breach of bail.
The police spokesperson said the man had two outstanding warrants for his arrest for domestic violence, traffic and larceny offences.
The man appeared in Wollongong Local Court on Saturday (3 August) where he was refused bail to reappear at the same court today (5 August).
The woman was charged with being carried in a stolen vehicle and granted strict conditional bail to appear before Wollongong Local Court on Tuesday (6 August).
