A man will face court today charged over an alleged pursuit on the Central Coast last night.

About 8.25pm (Thursday 24 October 2024), police attempted to stop a motorcycle on Rotherham Street, Bateau Bay.

The motorcycle - which was not displaying a registration plate - allegedly failed to stop as directed and a pursuit was initiated.

The rider lost control of the motorcycle and fell from the bike before being arrested a short time later.

A subsequent search of the man allegedly revealed an extendable baton, a vial of a substance believed to be GHB, and an envelope containing $12,000 of counterfeit currency.

The 36-year-old man was taken to Wyong Police Station where he was charged with police pursuit - not stop - drive at speed, unlicensed for class, drive conveyance taken without consent of owner, and possess or use a prohibited weapon without permit.

He was refused bail to appear before Wyong Local Court today (Friday 25 October 2024).

Inquiries into the substance and currency are ongoing.
