A MAN has been charged after shots were allegedly fired at police following a pursuit.
About 2.15am on Saturday morning, officers attached to Mid North Coast Police District attempted to stop a Subaru Impreza on Giinagay Way, Valla.
The Subaru failed to stop, and a pursuit was initiated before being terminated shortly after due to safety concerns.
Police continued to patrol the area and re-engaged the pursuit after the Subaru was seen turning onto Jellico Street, Macksville before crashing and becoming bogged.
The driver fled and hid under a nearby house with police establishing a perimeter, as a number of shots were allegedly discharged towards officers.
The residence was evacuated, and specialist police resources attended to assist.
Following negotiations, the 30-year-old man was arrested about 9am without incident and taken to Kempsey Police Station.
A crime scene was established and an investigation into the incident commenced.
Following inquiries, the 30-year-old man was charged with five offences.
