Police arrested four people after a slow chase through North Sydney in the early hours Friday morning.
Police were first called around 1:30 a.m. for a report that two people were stealing a pickup truck from Cogan’s Service Centre on Commercial Street, the main road through North Sydney.
Shortly after, police say a patrolling officer spotted a similar truck, still on Commercial Street, a few blocks away.
Although the police officer turned on flashing lights and followed the stolen pickup, the driver continued for about 1.5 kilometres in a loop through the nearby neighbourhood, eventually stopping on Park Street.
While the police officer was arresting the three passengers for joyriding, the 31-year-old driver ran off toward Regent Street.
Police eventually arrested him in a home on Queen Street.

The festival will be split into an afternoon session (2-4:30 p.m.) and an evening session (7-9:30 p.m.) today.
