Police were also involved in a short pursuit on the Mitchell Highway at Guyong on Friday, December 28.

Central West Police District Chief Inspector Peter Atkins said the pursuit started after police from highway patrol attempted to pull over a vehicle travelling along the highway, which failed to stop.

Chief Inspector Atkins said when the vehicle did stop it was discovered to contain international tourists.

He said the tourists claimed they were not aware of the road rules that they had to stop for the police and it turned out to be a minor matter. 

Chief Inspector Atkins said police have also made a few recent arrests for domestic violence.
