Between 10pm on Sunday 17 July and 6.45am yesterday (Monday 18 July), an unknown person stole a silver Volkswagon Golf from a home on Yarrandale Road, Dubbo.

Just before 10pm yesterday, police were patrolling Coonamble and observed the Volkswagon. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle and the driver sped off.

A pursuit was initiated before it was terminated a short time later due to safety concerns.
