Raptor Squad officers have charged a man following a pursuit through Greenacre overnight.
About 8.15pm yesterday (Sunday 18 August 2024), State Crime Command's Raptor Squad were patrolling the Greenacre area before locating a Toyota Corolla driving dangerously.
Police directed the driver to stop; however, when they allegedly failed to do so, a pursuit was initiated.
The pursuit continued for several minutes before it was terminated on Maiden Street due to safety concerns.
Following inquiries, police arrested the driver, a 24-year-old man, a short time later at a home on Valencia Street, Greenacre, after police located the vehicle in the driveway.
He was taken to Bankstown Police Station where he was charged with police pursuit - not stop - drive dangerously, drive recklessly/furiously and breach of bail.
The man was refused bail to appear before Bankstown Local Court today (Monday 19 August 2024).
