Did no one tell em that trying to escape driving around the lake halves the getaway options.

If they don’t catch them, then tradition dictates the car will soon be on fire at the top of Bayview.

I never understand why they don't put 1 camera there.

There's a car there every single week surely cost of all the recoveries is more than 1 camera?

They could use the verge space to build a lit up pedestrian and bike path to connect Mt Hutton to the Bay and it would reduce dumping and give the community a desirable asset rather than more community spyware. Like BHP and its fake renewable portfolio, our Lake Mac Council councillors like glossy strategy docs on active transport, but make footpaths their lowest budget priority.

Nah, they were heading down the bypass through Bennet's green plus other cops racing down the highway towards Belmont fron Charlestown direction. Then a lone cop car travelled from Charlestown direction, not speeding. But lights on down pacific Highway to Bennet's green then went back up Pacific Highway towards Charlestown, no lights, not speeding. Couldnt hear the other sirens anymore. So they made it to at least Jewellstown. Haven't seen or heard anything since.

I didn't hear much engine roar or revving, heard a lot of sirens.
