Adrian Brown led police on high speed chase from Llandilo to Ropes Crossing

Incredible footage has emerged of a man in his 40s leading police on a high speed chase in a Ford Falcon through suburban streets before smashing into cars and a letterbox.

A man has been refused bail after he left a trail of destruction in western Sydney during a police chase, colliding with two parked cars and letterbox.

Adrian Brown, 46, faced Penrith Local Court on Monday, where he pleaded guilty to police pursuit not stop drive dangerously, drive motor vehicle during disqualification period and two counts of not give particulars to owner of damaged property, and was refused bail by Magistrate Alexander Mijovich after the high speed chase.

The court heard the ordeal began in the early hours of September 4, when police patrolling the Cranebrook area spotted a 2008 Ford Falcon travelling along the Northern Rd, Jordan Springs.

Police intended to stop the vehicle for drug and alcohol testing and Covid check purposes so tried to pull the vehicle over on Ninth Ave, Llandilo.

However Brown sped off as police approached, initiating a pursuit that reached speeds up to 140km/h in 80km/h zones.

Police deployed road spikes at 12.27am at the intersection of Stony Creek Road and Eighth Avenue, Llandilo, which Mr Brown drove over, causing both front tyres of his Ford Falcon to pop.

Polair began monitoring Mr Brown and his vehicle from above as he travelled to Ropes Crossing.

The court heard he lost control of his vehicle as he rounded a corner on a residential street, colliding with two parked cars. One vehicle sustained minor damage, while the second vehicle sustained major rear-end damage and “is likely a write off”, according to court documents.

The car’s rear bumper was ripped off.

He continued to drive with sparks flying from the vehicle, according to court documents.

Tokotoru Kamoe was the owner of one of the vehicles, and told the Penrith Press he and his family were inside when the event happened.

“We were all in our rooms when we heard the screeching but we just thought it sounded like rain,” he said.

“Then we heard a big bang and our daughter ran out and said ‘dad, that’s our car’.”

“It was a close call, if the car hadn’t been there, he probably would’ve gone straight through the neighbour’s house.”

Polair watched on as he hit another vehicle and a letterbox before Brown jumped a series of fences and made his way out to Bluebell Crescent where he hid behind a number of bins and was ordered onto the ground.

Police asked why he ran to which he replied “I get my licence back in two weeks”, the court heard.

In court, the prosecution argued against Mr Brown’s request for bail.

“The prosecution is highly opposed to bail because of a lengthy criminal history of about 30 pages and the accused has received several prior terms of imprisonment for driving matters.

“This would cause serious concerns,” the police prosecutor said.

“In terms of the safety of the community, his previous actions have displayed that he shows little or no concern regarding his actions and reoffends.

“The prosecution is also concerned that he reached high speeds in a pursuit that went for some 40 minutes.”

Magistrate Mijovich said he was of the same opinion.

“A serious pursuit took place, spikes were deployed and the accused continued to drive. When the vehicle couldn’t travel any further, the accused jumped numerous fences and was found hiding behind bins,” he said.

“I think any release into the community has truly bolted due to the serious matters before the court and the lengthy history presented.

“There is a strong prosecution case and a clear history of noncompliance on previous bail. The reality is, previous to this drive while disqualified, there are several of the same offences in the last ten years.

“I’m not satisfied that any conditions I put on Mr Brown would prevent him from reoffending. Bail has been refused.”

The matter will return to court later this month.
