At about 2:30am on Saturday, May 18, police were patrolling Cobborah Road, Dubbo, when they attempted to stop a Holden Commodore travelling at excessive speed.
When it failed to stop, a pursuit was initiated. However, the chase was terminated a short time later on the Newell Highway due to safety concerns.
Ten minutes later, about 2:40am, police sighted the same car entering Gilgandra and successfully deployed road spikes.
The vehicle came to a stop a short time later after hitting a gutter on Mullion Street.
