Police said the chase was called off when the car left the road and hit a a house on Karuah Street.
A witness said they were just metres away when the car ploughed into the home’s fence.
“We heard a massive bang and all we could see was a car on the side of our house,” he said.
“We where sitting in front of the house where the car had the accident, so two-metres left, it would have been a different story tonight.”
