Police are speaking with a man and looking for two others following a brief chase through Fordlands.

A police media spokeswoman said police attempted to stop a vehicle on Malfroy Rd at 2.45pm today.

The driver did not stop, starting a chase that ended minutes later on Sunset Rd.

The vehicle was not driven dangerously or at speed, the spokeswoman said.

On Ford Rd one passenger got out and fled on foot, before the vehicle continued on to Sunset Rd.
