Police Arrest 21-Year-Old at Mount Druitt Westfield After Pursuit Is Halted

Air support guided officers to the centre car park for the arrest.

Overview

  • Police responded about 1pm to reports that a man had left a Willmot unit on Reliance Crescent armed with weapons.
  • Officers initiated a vehicle pursuit in nearby Hebersham about 1:35pm before terminating it due to safety concerns.
  • A police helicopter tracked the car to the Mount Druitt Westfield car park at about 2pm.
  • The 21-year-old was arrested inside the shopping centre and taken to Mount Druitt police station, and inquiries are continuing.
  • Footage shows officers near a knife and a man on the ground, and the incident occurred at the same Westfield where police shot a machete-armed man in July.
