The chase started at Tomago
A wanted man's been arrested after leading police on a pursuit from Tomago to Beresfield.
Officers were patrolling Nelson Bay Road at Williamtown at 6:30 Saturday night, when they spotted the man, who's wanted on warrants, driving a Ford Falcon.
They lost sight of the car, but spotted it again on Cabbage Tree Road and gave chase.
The pursuit travelled along the Pacific Highway and New England Highway, before being terminated on John Renshaw Drive at Beresfield due to dangerous driving.
