A man has been charged after allegedly leading police on a pursuit through Sydney’s west that ended in a two-hour siege at an apartment block.

The chase began just after 3am when police tried to stop a Toyota Camry on Aurora Drive in Tregear.

Police began chasing the car along Luxford Road, where it was allegedly seen on video speeding, before it turned into a block of flats on Halinda Street in Whalan.

Police allege Shaun Baxter, 38, got out of the car and went inside, leaving a passenger behind.

Police arrested the passenger but said he was quickly released after they spoke to him.

They set up a perimeter around the apartments, waiting for the man to come out.

Police told residents to stay inside for their own safety.

“[A] swarm of cops followed after, [the] canine unit and more cops came up, got a scent of him, took off down the driveway,” witness Declan Boulson said.
