Street Race and Pursuit leads to arrest in Greenacre.

At about 10:55pm on Thursday, 29 October 2026, officers from Auburn Highway Patrol observed a grey Ford Ranger and a white Toyota RAV4 street racing on the Hume Highway, Chullora. Police checked the vehicles' speeds at 120km/h in a signposted 70km/h zone.

Police caught up to the vehicles when the Ranger accelerated through a red right turn arrow at the intersection of the Hume Highway and Roberts Road, Greenacre, before turning onto Roberts Road and initiating a police pursuit.

During the pursuit, the Ranger reached speeds of no less than 170km/h in the 70km/h zone on Roberts Road before continuing through the back streets of Greenacre at high speed. The driver eventually stopped in Amarina Avenue, where police arrested an 18 year old man from Condell Park. He had an active P2 Provisional Licence. He told police that he was scared because he was racing a mate.

Upon inspection of the vehicle, police located three young male passengers, two of whom were aged 15.

The 18 year old was conveyed to Auburn Police Station, where he was charged with:
• Police pursuit – drive dangerously
• Take part in a race between vehicles
• Exceed speed limit by more than 45km/h
• Not stop at a red arrow

The man's driver's licence was suspended on the spot, and the vehicle was towed from the scene to be impounded for three months at the owner's expense.

Police granted the man conditional bail to appear before the Burwood Local Court at a later date.
