Three men have been charged following a dangerous pursuit across the Tweed last night.
A 27-year-old learner driver appeared at Lismore Local Court today after allegedly evading officers in a stolen car.
The vehicle was seen entering NSW at a speed of 165 km/h in a 100 km/h zone and officers attached to Byron Bay Traffic and Highway Patrol initiated a pursuit shortly before 11 o’clock.
Road spikes were successfully deployed at Tweed Heads and the pursuit continued around Tweed Heads South and into Banora Point where the Hyundai stopped in Kintyre Crescent.
The driver was arrested while Polair tracked his two male passengers, also aged 27, into nearby homes.
They were arrested and will appear at Tweed Heads Local Court next month.
