A Keysborough man with an alleged stash of meth and cash in a speeding car has been chased by police through the East and South East last night.
The 23-year-old driver was said to be speeding at about 200km/h in a Ford Focus XR Turbo with false plates as he passed a Victoria Police Dog Squad unit on Eastern Freeway about midnight on Thursday 10 September.
He was followed by the police airwing through Springvale, Noble Park, Glen Waverley, Ringwood, Mulgrave and Dandenong, police say.
