Ute ends up on golf course green after high-speed police chase in Sydney
A man and woman were charged after police chases ended with a ute on a golf course green.
The pair first caught police attention Saturday night when their black ute failed to stop for drug and alcohol testing at Malabar. The driver reached speeds of 100 km/h in a 50 km/h zone and drove on the wrong side of the road.
Police ended the pursuit when the ute veered into the Coast Golf and Recreational Club and hit an embankment near the eighth hole. Both fled on foot.
Less than an hour later, the man was spotted driving a white hatchback nearby. A second pursuit followed and ended when the hatchback reversed into a police car in a nearby cul-de-sac.
There were no injuries; the police car sustained minor damage. The man returned a negative result for drugs and alcohol.
