A man has been charged after a police pursuit in the state’s Orana region over the weekend.
About 12.20am yesterday (Sunday 18 October 2026), officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District were called to a home on Mullah Street, Trangie, following reports of a 34-year-old man allegedly ramming a sedan with his Toyota SUV.
