Police tried to stop an Audi A1, they believed had been stolen, on the Pacific Highway at Belmont Sunday afternoon and when the driver failed to stop, officers gave chase.
The pursuit continued through surrounding streets, near Evans Street, before air support was leant by Polair and road spikes were deployed on the highway.
Police followed the vehicle into the Charlestown Square underground carpark on Pearson Street where the driver allegedly fled from the vehicle.
Police later found and arrested two men, aged 23 and 24, who were taken to Belmont Police Station where they were said to be assisting with inquiries.
