A Narromine man has admitted to leading police on a car chase while he had a five-year-old child in the back seat but has denied other charges.  

The 28-year-old man has pleaded guilty to driving dangerously while having a five-year-old boy unrestrained in the back seat while through the streets of a regional town in the state’s west. 

The charges followed a police chase through the streets of Narromine. 

Orana Mid-Western Police District officers were called around 5pm Sunday 28 July, after the man was seen driving a station wagon, which was towing a trailer, allegedly towards the police on Warren Road. Concerns were raised for the welfare of a woman seen on the side of the road forcing them to take “evasive action.” 

The police allege the man almost hit a pedestrian trying to cross Dandaloo Street in Narromine. 

When police stopped the vehicle on McGrane Way, they found a five-year-old boy in the rear passenger seat.
