HIGHWAY Patrol officers are on the hunt for a silver Holden Commodore, which was involved in a police chase last week.
Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol officers saw the VT-VX Holden Commodore sedan travelling east on the Maroondah Highway between Coldstream and Healesville, about 5.10pm on Thursday 22 May, speeding and overtaking other cars.
Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but lost sight of the car, before finding it crashed into a guard-rail on the highway.
After trying to intercept the car, again, the police called off their pursuit for safety reasons.
At 5.20pm, police found the car in the driveway of a house on Don Road, Healesville, where it drove out of the property – the driver then lost control and almost hit the police car.
The car then travelled along Don Road, overtaking several cars and a bus near the Don Road Sporting Complex – police did not attempt to pursue it.
Police said the Commodore had damage down its entire passenger side, and was missing its front bumper.
The driver is believed to be Caucasian and aged 25-30.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to submit a confidential crime report at www.crimestoppersvic.gov.au
