Police are investigating a dramatic early morning incident involving gunfire and a vehicle pursuit along the Sir Sydney Walling Highway.

According to a police report, an officer observed a white Honda CR-V travelling east when two loud explosions were allegedly heard coming from the vehicle near the Old Parham Road junction.

The officer reportedly discharged warning shots into the air before pursuing the vehicle. Additional officers later responded to the scene near Utopia Park.

Police said the vehicle subsequently sped away from the area, leading to another pursuit after several shots were fired at the fleeing SUV.

Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
