A man will face court today after being charged with numerous offences following a police pursuit at Maroubra overnight.
About 2.05am today (Monday 4 February 2019), police observed a white Toyota Landcruiser being driven on Chicago Avenue.
Due to the speed and manner, in which the Toyota was being driven, the officers attempted to stop the vehicle.
When the vehicle failed to stop, a pursuit was initiated on Midway Drive.
The Toyota struck a pole a short time later, on New Orleans Crescent and the driver fled from the vehicle.
A perimeter was established by officers from Eastern Beaches Police Area Command who were assisted by PolAir and the Dog Squad.
A 21-year-old man was arrested nearby and returned a positive result to a roadside breath test.
He was conveyed to Maroubra Police Station where he underwent a breath analysis.
The man was later charged with police pursuit (Skyes Law), driving with the mid-range prescribed concentration of alcohol, unlicensed – never held, and breach of bail.
The man was refused bail to appear at Waverley Local Court today (Monday 4 February 2019).
