A man will appear in court today following a pursuit in Sydney's south west.
About 2.20am today (Wednesday 19 March 2025), police were conducting stationary speed enforcement on the M5 at Milperra when they located a Jeep SUV allegedly driving dangerously on the M5 Motorway.
Officers attached to Bankstown Highway Patrol directed the driver to stop; however, when he allegedly failed to do so a pursuit was initiated.
The pursuit continued until it reached the intersection of Milperra Road and Edgar Street, Revesby, where the SUV stopped.
The driver, a 42-year-old man, was arrested and subjected to a roadside drug test which returned a positive result.
He was taken to Bankstown Police Station and charged with police pursuit – speed dangerous, P2 exceed speed limit over 30km and P2 exceed speed limit over 45km.
A secondary drug test has been sent for analysis and his license was suspended.
He was refused bail to appear before Bankstown Local Court today (Wednesday 19 March 2025).
