About 9.20pm, officers observed a white Holden utility on Malaga Drive; the vehicle was allegedly stolen from Hazelmere on March 11.

Police attempted to stop the vehicle and it continued to evade police into Beach Road and Torquata Drive before it lost control and crashed into a skip bin outside a property on Torquata Drive.
