Casuarina General Duties have arrested a 38-year-old male following a pursuit in Marrara.

Around 8:10am, the Joint Emergency Services Communication Centre (JESCC) received several reports of a vehicle driving dangerously in the Darwin CBD.

A pursuit was commenced after the vehicle failed to stop at a traffic apprehension, however it was terminated due to the dangerous driving of the Nissan X-Trail as it had allegedly run several red lights and driven on the wrong side of the road.

About an hour later, the JESCC received a further report of the vehicle driving in the same manner near Darwin Airport, after which Strike Force Trident successfully deployed tyre deflation devices on Henry Wrigley Drive.

Police followed the Nissan, as it headed towards McMillans Road, in a slow pursuit under 10km/h before Casuarina General Duties and the Dog Operations Unit forced the offending vehicle to stop and arrested the driver, a 38-year-old male.

Casuarina General Duties are investigating the incident, with charges expected later today.
