A dramatic police pursuit has unfolded across Western Sydney, resulting in a damaged police vehicle and one arrest, while the driver remains on the run.
Chaotic Chase Through Greenacre
The incident began just before midnight in the suburb of Greenacre. Officers from the specialised Raptor Squad initiated a pursuit of a black Holden hatchback after it was detected travelling at high speed.
The chase came to a violent conclusion when the fleeing vehicle crashed into a police car before colliding with a parked vehicle. The impact caused significant damage to the police vehicle involved in the operation.
One Arrested, Search Continues for Driver
Following the crash, police swiftly moved in and arrested a 27-year-old woman at the scene. She is currently assisting investigators with their enquiries.
However, the male driver of the Holden managed to flee on foot. A large-scale search operation involving multiple police units was launched immediately to locate him. The driver remains at large as of this morning, with police urging the public not to approach him.
Police Investigation Underway
Forensic officers have examined the crash site on the street in Greenacre, gathering evidence. The damaged police car and the Holden were both cordoned off for investigation.
The Raptor Squad, a high-profile police unit focused on combating organised crime and gang activity, is leading the investigation. They are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage from the Greenacre area around midnight to come forward.
This wild pursuit highlights the risks police face on a nightly basis and the ongoing efforts to tackle dangerous driving and criminal activity on Sydney's roads.
