Police are investigating after the driver of a stolen car refused to pull over and dumped the vehicle in Sunshine, late last night.

The white Nissan Navara was spotted travelling towards Greensborough on the Ring Road near Ballarat Road just before midnight.

The stolen vehicle exited the Ring Road at Ballarat Road and headed east.

Officers activated lights and sirens before attempting to intercept the Nissan.

The Nissan slowed to turn into Hampshire Road, appearing to be coming to a stop.

The stolen car took off at a fast rate of speed and out of sight.

After a thorough search of the area, the Nissan was found dumped a short time later in Clarke Street, Sunshine.

Police believe that the vehicle was stolen from a Tarneit address earlier in October.

The investigation remains ongoing.
