Four teenagers have been arrested over a carjacking at Sydney, and a pursuit through the streets of Newcastle yesterday.
Police were told a 29-year-old woman was threatened at knifepoint, as she parked her BMW in The Hills Showground Metro car park yesterday just after 8.30am.
The man allegedly demanded she hand over the keys to her car.
The woman gave him the keys, but was assaulted when she tried to run away.
The man drove away in the BMW, and police started an investigation soon after.
Later that night, at around 9.30, Newcastle police were patrolling The Junction area when they saw the stolen vehicle parked in Kemp Street.
The driver allegedly sped away and a pursuit started.
It was stopped soon after due to safety concerns.
Around an hour later, officers saw the vehicle driving west along the New England Highway at Hexham, and they followed it into Tarro.
With assistance from PolAir, the car was found travelling south on M1.
At 1am this morning, the car was stopped at police roadblocks at the Palmdale Road overpass at Ourimbah.
