The pursuit unfolded during a road safety blitz conducted by the NSW Police Raptor Squad, aimed at cracking down on dodgy vehicles that are not road safe.
“We do all we can to ensure community safety and road safety for all users,” Raptor Squad Detective Superintendent Andrew Koutsoufis said during the operation.
