A man has been charged after he allegedly evaded police at high speeds through St Albans on Thursday.

The 45-year-old Altona Meadows man has been charged with 25 offences including conduct endangering life, unlicensed driving and failing to stop at police direction.

The charges come after police sighted a black Holden Vectra allegedly driving erratically along Furlong Road in St Albans about 5.20pm.

The vehicle allegedly drove through a red light before continuing at high speeds along Mulhall Drive, Main Road East, Percy Street and St Albans Road.

Police attempts to intercept the vehicle were unsuccessful.

Police then tracked the vehicle to Ballarat Road where they managed to block it up against a barrier and the driver was arrested.

He is expected to face court this morning.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or with dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
