Police are on the hunt for a driver who led them on a high-speed chase through Perth's north-eastern suburbs.
Police activated their lights and sirens after a Ford Focus sedan failed to stop for officers on Timberlane Crescent, Beechboro, about 11.20pm on Tuesday.
The driver sped away, leading police on a dramatic pursuit through several suburbs before ending on Hepburn Avenue due to the Ford's dangerous driving manner.
Police later spotted the car on Gnagara Road and re-commenced the pursuit before losing sight of it in Ellenbrook.
The Ford was found abandoned on Villefort Avenue, Ellenbrook, about 11.40pm.
Detectives on Tuesday night were seen bagging evidence and scouring the vehicle for clues.
Inquiries are ongoing.

Search resumes for Finn Coyle missing in Perth Hills
Emergency services have resumed their search for a 21-year-old man who went missing in the Perth Hills five days ago. Police and the State Emergency Service resumed their search for Finn Coyle at first light on Wednesday, who was last seen at a property on Tanner Road, Carmel, about 2.30pm on Friday. Police hold serious concerns for Finn's welfare and believe he still may be in Carmel or its surrounding areas, travelling on foot. Senior Sergeant Brad Robinson said Finn was familiar with the bush, but said the dense bushland had made the search challenging.

'What we believe is that he's probably not too far from home, he likes to venture out from his place here and go into the bush and do certain activities, build cubby houses and that type of thing,' he said on Tuesday. 'He likes being in the bush that's the type of person he is so we're concentrating our search efforts at this stage, in and around here. 'The bushland around here is really thick it's hard to see from overhead for our drones and it's also quite challenging on the ground for crews doing search on the ground.' Forrestfield Police are urgently seeking the communitys assistance to locate Finn Coyle. Credit: WA Police / WA Police Finn's brother Conor Coyle said he was 'seriously worried' and said his brother was struggling with his mental health. He said it was 'entirely unlike him' to go missing. 'Finn's been missing since Friday ... we're all very worried for his well being and his welfare, he's known to spend a lot of time in the local bush in the hill's area,' he told media on Tuesday. 'I think he's very resourceful and he's a great young man, but he's suffering a lot of mental health (problems) and I think ... we're losing a generation of young people for mental health. 'It's entirely unlike him, and just completely out of character. We're seriously worried.' Conor Coyle speaks at about his missing brother Finn Coyle on Tuesday afternoon. Credit: Riley Churchman / The West Australian Finn is described as being 187cm tall, of slim build with short brown hair and green eyes. 'Anyone who lives near this area are urged to check their properties and outbuildings for Finn or any indications that he may have been there,' a police spokesperson said. Anyone living nearby who may have CCTV vision or dashcam footage from around this time is urged to check it to assist investigations. Anyone who sees Finn or has information of his whereabouts is urged to contact police immediately on 131 444.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex says she joined 'cuckold' sex marathons to feel loved by him
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here BREAKING Socceroos lock in World Cup spot with win Under cross-examination, Sean 'Diddy' Combs ' ex-girlfriend testified that she took part in sex acts with male sex workers at the music mogul's request because it made her feel loved by him, but now regrets what she came to recognise as the 'cuckold' lifestyle. The woman testified at Combs' sex-trafficking trial under the pseudonym 'Jane' to protect her identity. A day earlier, she revealed their three-year relationship lasted until the Bad Boy Records founder was arrested in September at New York hotel, where she'd been planning to meet him. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges that carry a potential penalty of 15 years to life in prison. He has been jailed without bail. Sean 'Diddy' Combs, seen here at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, has returned his symbolic key to New York City. (Getty Images via CNN) Prosecutors allege Combs used violence, threats and a network of employees and associates to control and abuse women for two decades. His lawyers have told the jury in federal court in Manhattan that although there was domestic violence in his relationships, everything he did sexually was consensual. Earlier in the trial, R&B signer Casandra ' Cassie ' Ventura testified over four days that Combs physically abused her and that she participated in hundreds of 'freak-off' sexual performances during a nearly 11-year relationship that ended in 2018. The Associated Press doesn't name alleged victims of sexual abuse without their consent unless they have shared their identities publicly, as Cassie has. Attorney Teny Geragos, representing Combs, cross-examined Jane on Tuesday by leading her into discussing the drug-fuelled sexual marathons choreographed by Combs - which Jane said sometimes happened weekly - by reminding her that she mentioned regrets in earlier testimony. 'I resent him for leading me into the lifestyle he led me to,' Jane said. 'I resented the way he went about introducing me to this lifestyle.' She said she agreed to these 'hotel nights' while 'under a lot of emotional pressure' — and already hooked on love and a desire to stay in a relationship with Combs.

(Elizabeth Williams via AP) (AP) Jane testified that she partook in the encounters, sometimes grudgingly, because they pleased Combs and she enjoyed spending time alone with him afterward. Jane testified she began therapy about three months ago. She previously met with lawyers on Combs' defence team but cut off those meetings in April, days before the trial began. She said she struggles to understand why she kept participating in 'hotel nights' even though she only wanted to have sex with Combs, however the reasons are 'becoming more and more clear' as she proceeds with therapy. Jane initially felt it was 'something very special' to have these secret sexual experiences with Combs. She said she didn't want to judge him and 'really wanted to just go along with these things because if I can be my partner's escapes than I would be.' Jane said she researched sexual variations in 2022 and came across the words 'cuck' and 'cuckold,' which seemed to fit the lifestyle she found herself in because she said a man known as a 'cuck' derives pleasure seeing 'his woman receive pleasure' from another man. 'He likes to use the words 'voyeurism' and 'escapism,'' Jane said. She added: 'I would use the word cuck for him more so.' Geragos reminded Jane that she had testified last week that she loves Combs currently. Geragos had Jane read aloud some of the many sexually explicit messages in which she expressed the types of activities she wanted to engage in during 'hotel nights' with Combs and male sex workers as she tried to portray Jane as a willing and eager participant in frequent sex events. In earlier testimony, Jane provided recent examples of Combs acting violently toward a woman while seeking to fulfill his sexual desires. Cassie sued Combs in November 2023 alleging sexual abuse. The lawsuit was settled within hours for US$20 million (A$30.65 million), but it touched off the criminal investigation into Combs. World courts Sean Diddy Combs USA crime CONTACT US
