Three male passengers fled the vehicle while the female driver was arrested at the scene.
The Police Dog Squad helped locate one of the alleged offenders hiding in the nearby Fernleigh Track. Another was found a short distance away in dense bushland. While the third male was found by patrolling police. All were taken to Newcastle Police Station.
The 27-year-old female driver was charged with police pursuit and driving whilst suspended. She was given conditional bail to reappear at Newcastle Local Court later this month.
