Brookvale manhunt continues

Police say they are still searching for a man on the run from police in the Brookvale area since 7pm last night, 30 December.

The chase began after police noticed the young man driving a damaged Mercedes sedan, a dark grey silver, on Pittwater Road. A pursuit began when the man failed to stop as directed.

A short time later, officers located the abandoned Mercedes after it had crashed on Beacon Hill Road.
