Two people have been arrested after a police pursuit through multiple suburbs in Sydney.
Police said the pursuit began in the city’s south-west, when patrolling officers spotted an allegedly stolen Hyundai Sonata on the Hume Highway at Prestons at about 9.30am.
The Sonata allegedly failed to stop as requested, sparking the chase.
However, the pursuit broke off shortly after due to safety concerns, while PolAir monitored the Sonata from the sky.
Footage from the air showed the Sonata heading through multiple suburbs into North Parramatta – ultimately crossing from the city’s south-west to the north-west in about 45 minutes.
The Sonata, which appeared to have sustained heavy damage to its front end, was seen driving at high speed, through red traffic lights, and on the wrong side of the road.

It narrowly missed colliding with other cars on several occasions.
The car ultimately hit a traffic light and came to a stop on North Rocks Road at North Rocks, just after 11am.
It was blocked in by an unmarked police car and multiple officers swarmed the Hyundai.
A male driver and female passenger have been arrested.
Inquiries are continuing.
