Car smashes into Sydney shopfronts during wild police chase
A wild police pursuit has ended in carnage after a car carrying suspected stolen goods drove onto the footpath and crashed into three shopfronts in Sydney’s inner west.
Officers attempted to pull over the Holden Commodore about 11.45pm on Monday before the driver accelerated, sparking a pursuit down Parramatta Road.
But a short time into the pursuit, plumes of smoke appeared from the engine.
The men then drove up onto the footpath before smashing into three shop fronts at the Broadway Shopping Centre in Glebe.
Officers quickly arrested the driver and his male passenger before an inspection of the vehicle revealed suspected stolen property.
Both men were treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics at the scene before being taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital for treatment to minor injuries.
A crime scene has been established and inquiries are continuing.
