A man has been arrested after leading police on a chase in a stolen truck today.
Around 8 am, officers were alerted to a truck driving erratically in the St Albans Park area.
Witnesses reported that the driver narrowly missed civilians while driving dangerously through the area.
Police pursued the allegedly stolen white truck as it traveled through Thomson, Newcomb, Leopold, and Moolap, with the driver repeatedly entering the wrong side of the road.

With the assistance of Air Wing, officers swiftly arrested the driver.
No one was injured during the incident.
