Subscriber only The driver of stolen Landcruiser which led police on a chase into Coffs Harbour has evaded capture after crashing into a parked car. Just before 11pm on Thursday, December 31, highway patrol officers were doing speed checks on the Pacific Highway at Corindi Beach when they detected a Toyota Landcruiser allegedly exceeding the speed limit. Police were unable to stop the vehicle and a pursuit commenced towards Coffs Harbour. Officers then deployed tyre deflation devices in Korora which successfully deflated the tyres, however the Landcruiser continued into Price Street where it collided with a parked van. Three occupants ran from the car before police arrested an 18-year-old passenger and he was taken to Coffs Harbour Police Station and charged with breach of bail and carry in conveyance.
