CASEY police are seeking to identify drivers who were involved in two separate pursuits in Casey recently.
The first occurred about 3am yesterday (Thursday) when Cranbourne police attempted to intercept a vehicle along Wood Road, Berwick, but they refused to pull over.
A pursuit was initiated, which lasted about two minutes where the driver was doing speeds of up to 115km/h in an 80km/h zone.
Police terminated the pursuit when the vehicle pulled onto the wrong side of the road, then slowed to about 70km/h before driving onto the footpath and into a public reserve, police said.
The offender abandoned the vehicle in the park and fled on foot.
Police said the person was driving a white, 1990 Nissan Pulsar sedan which had been stolen from Seaford earlier in the evening.
Police were also involved in another pursuit on Friday 8 November at 2.34pm on the Monash Freeway, between Heatherton Road and Stud Road.
Cardinia Highway Patrol observed a white, Ford utility speed past them with no number plates displayed.
Police initiated a pursuit, but stopped after 500 metres when the vehicle was travelling in excess of 150km/h.
A vehicle of the same description and displaying false number plates drove off from a breath testing site later than night, at 10.40pm, along Princes Highway, Beaconsfield, police said.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
