A police search was ongoing Tuesday night, as officers assisted by PolAir and the Police Dog Unit scoured the area surrounding a Jesmond shopping centre for two people who fled from a vehicle involved in a chase through the suburbs earlier in the afternoon.
Police had attempted to pull over a Lexus at Charlestown around 3.30pm but officers said it failed to stop and a pursuit began through New Lambton, along the Newcastle Inner City Bypass, eventually ending at a shopping centre carpark on Bluegum Road about an hour later.
