A woman has been charged following a pursuit through Campbelltown and parts of South Western Sydney.
The 24 year old woman was hit with four charges: drive motor vehicle while licence suspended, not stop when directed to do so by police, exceed the speed limit by more than 45km/h, and drive recklessly,
She was refused bail to appear before Bail Division Court last Saturday, July 25.
About 9.50pm last Friday, officers attached to Campbelltown City Police Area Command attempted to stop a white Toyota sedan on Copperfield Drive, Rosemeadow.
When the vehicle allegedly failed to stop as directed, police commenced a pursuit which travelled about 50km through the Campbelltown, Liverpool, Cumberland and Bankstown areas.
During the pursuit, the driver allegedly reached speeds of about 170km/h.
Assisted by Traffic and Highway Patrol, PolAir, and commands in the South West Metropolitan Region, the vehicle was followed to Weeroona Road in Berala, where road spikes were successfully deployed.
The driver, a 24-year-old woman, continued at low speed until she was stopped by police on Brunker Road, Yagoona, and removed from the vehicle.
She was subjected to roadside drug and breath tests which returned negative results, before she was taken to Bankstown Police Station where she was charged with the four driving offences.
