Revolving Door Justice? Repeat Offender Granted Bail After Police Pursuit

Let’s dive into a story that perfectly encapsulates the state of law and order—or should I say, the lack thereof—on our streets. Two men have been charged following a chaotic police pursuit in Newcastle yesterday. But the real question is, how did we get here? Let’s break it down

It all started when a silver Toyota Echo was spotted driving erratically down Watkins Street in Merewether.

Police attempted to stop the car, but, shocker, the driver refused to pull over, kicking off a high-speed pursuit through Newcastle’s suburbs.
