Police hunt driver following high-speed chase through Perth’s north-eastern suburbs

Police are on the hunt for a driver who led them on a high-speed chase through Perth’s north-eastern suburbs.

Police activated their lights and sirens after a Ford Focus sedan failed to stop for officers on Timberlane Crescent, Beechboro, about 11.20pm on Tuesday.

The driver sped away, leading police on a dramatic pursuit through several suburbs before ending on Hepburn Avenue due to the Ford’s dangerous driving manner.

Police later spotted the car on Gnagara Road and re-commenced the pursuit before losing sight of it in Ellenbrook.

The Ford was found abandoned on Villefort Avenue, Ellenbrook, about 11.40pm.

Detectives on Tuesday night were seen bagging evidence and scouring the vehicle for clues.

Inquiries are ongoing.
