POLICE PURSUIT NEAR MUSWELLBROOK

A Broken Hill woman will face Muswellbrook court today charged with 29 offences, after a police pursuit in the Hunter last night.

Police were patrolling the New England Highway at Blandford, at around 6 o’clock last night, when they tried to pull over the driver of a Great Wall utility vehicle.

A pursuit began when the woman failed to stop, but ended soon after.

The vehicle was found sometime later parked in a carpark at Murrurundi.

The 27-year-old unlicensed driver was arrested and taken to Muswellbrook Police Station.

She was charged with 29 offences, including reckless driving, using an unregistrable vehicle, failure to submit to a breath test, and obtaining goods suspected of being stolen.

The woman also allegedly used mailbox stickers from a hardware store to change the car’s number plates.
