COFFS HARBOUR POLICE CONTINUE THEIR HUNT FOR SPEEDING DRIVER

Police in Coffs Harbour remain on the hunt for the male driver of a utility towing a caravan which led officers on a wild chase through the city yesterday afternoon.

The pursuit began after the man allegedly stole two cans of energy drink from a local supermarket.

When police attempted to pull the man over, he sped off and did a U-turn across four lanes of Pacific Highway traffic.

Four highway patrol vehicles abandoned the chase when it was considered too dangerous due to the heavy holiday traffic.
