A SCARBOROUGH woman is facing a range of charges after allegedly being involved in two police pursuits within several days.

Police allege the 33-year-old was the driver of a suspected stolen Volkswagen Golf they attempted to stop in North Beach on April 15.

The car evaded police as it drove through North Beach and Karrinyup, along Mitchell Freeway, Reid Highway and Wanneroo Road before being found abandoned on York Road in Greenwood.
