The police vehicle then followed an alleged stolen Mazda CX-9 to a dead-end road on Maple Street when it crashed into the police car numerous times before the occupants abandoned their vehicle and fled on foot.

The officers who were uninjured in the crash chased the offenders and arrested two men nearby.

Patrols of the area then discovered two women who were also taken into custody.

A search of the vicinity was conducted and an imitation firearm was located, alleged to have been dumped by one of the fleeing occupants.

Investigators will interview the four in custody in relation to the incident.

Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000.
